[Intro]
F#m What you mean, what you mean
What you mean, man, what you mean
F#m What you mean, yeah, what you see
What you see, yeah, oh
[Verse 1]
Well I N.C.need a little something to pull my head off
N.C.Need a little something to pull my head off, yeah
Need a little something because I've been running from the F#mtruth
Will never lose
Lies come from loose teeth
Tied to the noose
Climbing up my F#mown tree hoping it can hold
All the things I've seen but I've chosen to ignore, hmmDmaj7
Well, I said, well I believe I've Dmaj7been well fed, yeah
But the wolf's not dead
[Chorus]
F#mSay what you love, it's alright
EmDon't be afraid to find your light
Dmaj7Embrace the day, like night
BmWe hear the fire
We all go wild aEgain
And you have the C#mname of someone I Dmaj7love
You said, just F#mkeep it true, lift up your name
EmSeasons change, you know it will never Dmaj7be the same
We'll see the sun aBmgain
Before it Efades
I just wannC#ma say that I love Dmaj7you
[Verse 2]
F#m Pay the man, pay the man
Got to pay the man, run as fast as you can
F#m Call out to God, praise to the Most High
Call out for help cause I'm playing with fire
F#m Call out to mountains till my voice goes faint
Echoes through time then goes back with new strength
(And when it's Dmaj7raining we're sailing
Oh yeah, we're sailing, we're Dmaj7sailing)
I'm off the leash, I go to war for peace
F#m'Cause I've been touching everything that I can
I've got blood on my hands
Guess I'm going deaf with the F#mcry of this sin
Oh please forgive me I don't understand
We all believe we've been well fed, yeah
The N.C.deaf man heard what the mute man said
Then they all followed where the blind man led
[Chorus]
F#mSay what you love, it's alright
EmDon't be afraid to find your light
Dmaj7Embrace the day, like night
BmWe hear the fire
We all go wild aEgain
And you have the C#mname of someone I Dmaj7love
You said, just F#mkeep it true, lift up your name
EmSeasons change, you know it will never Dmaj7be the same
We'll see the sun aBmgain
Before it Efades
I just wannC#ma say that I love Dmaj7you
[Bridge]
(Pay the man, pay the man, pay the man)
Pay the man, you got tDmaj7o pay the man
C#m Pay the man, you got toA pay the man
G Pay the man
I was Glaughing real hard until my Ateeth fell out
Dmaj7Laughing real hard until my C#mteeth fell out
Was Alaughing real hard but my Gteeth fell out
Need a little something, yeah
ANeed a little something
(A little something, little something, little something)

But I warned Dmaj7you, hmm
