What you mean, what you mean?

[Verse 1]

A                                      F#m
Well I need a little something to pull my head off
Bm                              E
Need a little something to pull my head off, yeah
A                        F#m                               Bm
Need a little something Because I've been running from the truth
           E
Will never lose
                A                      F#m
Lies come from loose teeth, tied to the noose
               Bm                     E
Climbing up my own tree hoping it can hold
                    A                       F#m     Bm   E
All the things I've seen but I've chosen to ignore
Bm                               E
Well, I said, well I believe I've been well fed, yeah
F#m          E      D
But the wolf's not dead


[Chorus]

A                  F#m
Say what you love, it's alright
Bm                 E
Don't be afraid to find the light
A                F#m
Embrace the day, like night
Bm
We hear the fire 
E              Bm
We all go wild again
                 E
And you have the name
   F#m     E D
Of someone I love
           A                 F#m
You said, just keep it true, Lift up your name
Bm                                           E
Seasons change, You know it'll never be the same
                  Bm
We'll see the sun again
         E
Before it fades
              F#m    E      D 
I just wanna say that I love you

[Verse 2]
A             F#m
Pay the man, pay the man
Bm                   E
Got to pay the man, Run as fast as you can
A                 F#m
Call out to God, praise to the Most High
Bm                       E
Call out for help cause I'm playing with fire
A                            F#m
Call out to mountains till my voice goes faint
Bm                            E
Echoes through time that goes back with new strength


[Interlude]

Bm
And when it's raining
F#m
We're sailing
Bm
Oh yeah, we're sailing
F#m
We're sailing


[Verse 3] 

     A             F#m
I'm off the leash, I go to war for peace
Bm                    E
Must've been touching everything that I can
A
I've got blood on my hands
F#m                           Bm
Guess I'm going deaf with the cry of this sin
E                         A
Please forgive me I don't understand
F#m                       Bm         E   A  F#m
We all believe we've been well fed
Bm                          E
The deaf man heard what the mute man said
F#m                    E
Then they all followed where the blind man led


[Chorus]

A                  F#m
Say what you love, it's alright
Bm                 E
Don't be afraid to find the light
A                F#m
Embrace the day, like night
Bm
We hear the fire 
E              Bm
We all go wild again
                 E
And you have the name
   F#m     E D
Of someone I love
           A                 F#m
You said, just keep it true, Lift up your name
Bm                                           E
Seasons change, You know it'll never be the same
                  Bm
We'll see the sun again
         E
Before it fades
              F#m    E      D 
I just wanna say that I love you

We'll see the sun again
         E
Before it fades
              F#m    E      D 
I just wanna say that I love you

A             F#m
Can't you see, can't see me
Bm           F#m
Can't see me, can't see me
A                F#m
And can't see me, can't see me
Bm                  E
We all run when the light comes on
A                       F#m
Am I wrong, for wanting it all?
Bm           E          A
But I warned you
