Key : G
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
G | F#m | Am | D 
G 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
G 
Every generation
Cmaj7 
Blames the one before
    G 
And all of their frustrations
     Cmaj7 
Come beating on your door
  Dm /F 
I know  that I'm a prisoner to all my father held so dear
  Am 
I know that I'm a hostage, to all his hopes and fears
            D                                        G 
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G 
Crumpled bits of paper
       Cmaj7 
Filled with  imperfect thought
G 
Stilted conversations
     Cmaj7 
I'm afraid that's all we've got
    Dm /F 
You say   you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
    Am 
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
           D 
We all talk  a different language
                  G 
Talking in defence

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
G             Cmaj7 
  Say it loud,      Oh Say it clear
Am    D           G 
   as well as you hear
              Cmaj7 
It's too late,      Oh When we die
Am          D          G 
   we don't see eye to eye

[Verse 3]
---------------------
      G 
So we open up a quarrel
        Cmaj7 
Between the   present and the past
     G 
We only sacrifice the future
     Cmaj7 
It's the   bitterness that lasts
Dm /F 
So    don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
   Am 
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
       D 
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
                 G 
You may just be okay
                    G  Cmaj7 
Say it, Say it, Say it       loud

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
         Am 
Oh Say it   clear
D          G 
As well as you hear
                               Cmaj7 
Becouse It's too late, It's too      late
               Am 
Oh, when we die
   D             G 
We don't see eye to eye

[Verse 4]
---------------------
G 
I wasn't there that morning
     Cmaj7 
When my    father passed away
G 
I didn't get to tell him
       Cmaj7 
All the      things I had to say
Dm /F 
I     think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
Am 
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
  D 
I just wish I could have told him
             G 
In the living  years
                       G  Cmaj7 
So Say it, Say it, Say it       loud

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
         Am 
Oh Say it   clear
D          G 
As well as you hear
        Cmaj7 
It's too      late
                     Am 
It's too late When we   die
   D             G 
We don't see eye to eye
                            G 
Hey! So Say it, Say it, Say it loud

[Fade Out]
---------------------
   Cmaj7 
Say      Loud Oh Say it
Am | D | G | G 
Cmaj7
