AbEvery generation, blames the Dbone before And all of their frusAbtrations, come beating Dbon your door GbI know that I’m a prisoner to all my father held so dear I know that I’mBbm a hostage to all his hopes and fears I just Ebwish I could have told him in the living years
Verse 2:
AbCrumpled bits of paper Filled with imDbperfect thoughts AbStilted conversations, I’m afraid that’s Dball we’ve got You say you just Gbdon’t see it, he says its perfect sense You just can’t get Bbagreement, in this present tense We all Ebtalk a different language, talking in defense
Chorus:
So say it Abloud Say it Dbclear You can Bbmlisten as Ebwell as you Abhear It’s too Ablate (it’s too late) When we Dbdie (when we die) To adBbmmit we don’t Ebsee eye to Abeye
Verse 3:
So we Abopen up the quarrel Between the Dbpresent and the past We only sAbacrifice the future It’s the bitterDbness that lasts GB So don’t yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may Bbmhave a new perspective on a different day And if you Ebdon’t give up, and don’t give in, you may just be OAbkay
Chorus:
So say it Abloud Say it Dbclear You can Bbmlisten as Ebwell as you Abhear It’s too Ablate (it’s too late) When we Dbdie (when we die) To adBbmmit we don’t Ebsee eye to Abeye
Verse 4:
I Abwasn’t there that morning When my Dbfather passed away AbI didn’t get to tell him, all the things I Dbhad to say I Gbthink I caught his spirit, later that same year I’m Bbmsure I heard his echo in my baby’s newborn tears I just, Ebwish I could have told him in the living Abyears
Chorus:
So say it Abloud Say it Dbclear You can Bbmlisten as Ebwell as you Abhear It’s too Ablate (it’s too late) When we Dbdie (when we die) To adBbmmit we don’t Ebsee eye to Abeye
It’s too Ablate (it’s too late) When we Dbdie (when we die) To adBbmmit we don’t Ebsee eye to Abeye
