[Intro]
C Em A x2
[Verse 1]
Em G
It's easier to forgive someone for being wrong
Bm A
Than for being right, isn't it?
Em G
And how your angry tears will fall when all your plans
D
Don't suit the one you made them for
A
It comes to this
[Pre-chorus]
Em F#m F G
It's easier forgetting how you got to shore
Em F#m
When every cloud that blows your way
F G Bm
Is something else to blame me for
[Chorus]
C
Say it like you feel it
Em A A
You can't say it like you feel it anymore
C
Say it like I mean it
Em A A
I can't say it like I mean it anymore
[Verse 2]
Em G
Hold it up to the light, it looks like love
Bm A
It's what the mirror says, you name it so
Em
But you cut your pretty shapes as paper flakes
G
From careful sheets
D A
They blow away, not made to keep
[Pre-chorus]
Em F#m F G
What if alteration makes a little lie?
Em F#m F G
When what you paint instead is easier on the eye
Bm
Than what you hide
[Chorus]
C
Say it like you feel it
Em A A
You don't say it like you feel it anymore
C
Say it like I mean it
Em A A
I can't say it like I mean it anymore
A
Not anymore
[Solo]

C Em D A
[Outro to fade]
C Em
There are people who you think you're gonna love forever
D A
Oh, when you should know better, you should know better
C Em
Some people only see you as a move they're making
D A
Another step they're taking, a bet they're staking
C Em
There are people who you think you're gonna love forever
D A
You're gonna stay together, you should know better
C Em
Some people don't forgive you what you give up freely
D A
Or that you found it easy, they want to own completely
C Em
There are people who you think you're gonna love forever
D A
Oh, when you should know better, you should know better
C Em
Some people only see you as a move they're making
D A
Another step they're taking, a bet they're staking
C Em
There are people who you think you're gonna love forever
D A
You're gonna stay together, you should know better
