Foster The People
[Intro]
Eb Bm C#m Dm

F#m
What you need? What you need?
F#m
What you need, man? What you need?
F#m
What you need? Yeah, what'd you see?
F#m
What'd you see? Yeah, oh yeah

[Verse 1]
F#m
Well I need a little something to cool my head off
F#
Need a little something to cool my head off, yeah
F#
Need a little something
        C#m                      F#m
Because I've been running from a truce
F#m
We'll never lose
F#m
Lies come from loose teeth
F#m
Tied to the noose
F#m
Climbing up my own tree hoping it can hold
F#m                                          A         D
All the things I've seen but have chosen to ignore, mmm
D
Well, I said, well, I believe I've been well fed, yeah
B*
 But the wolf's not dead

[Chorus]
F#m
Say what you love, it's alright
Em                           A
Don't be afraid to find your light
D
Embrace the day
          Bm
At night, we're here to fight
               E
We all go wild again
                 C#m
And you have the name
             D
Of someone I love
               F#m
You said, just keep it true
F#m
Lift up your name
Em
Seasons change
         A           D
You know it'll never be the same
                  Bm
We'll see the sun again
              E
And before it fades
             C#m             D
I just wanna say that I love you, mmm

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

[Interlude]
E             D
And when it's raining
D
We're sailing
D
Oh yeah, we're sailing
D
We're sailing

[Verse 3]
N.C.
I'm off the leash
N.C.
I go to war for peace
F#m
Cause I've been touching everything that I can
F#m
I got blood on my hands
F#m
Guess I'm going deaf from what the crowd is sayin'
A
Ah please forgive me I don't understand
D
We all believe we've been well fed, yeah

[Pre Chorus 2]
B*
The deaf man heard what the mute man said

Then they all followed where the blind man led

[Chorus]
F#m
Say what you love, it's alright
Em                           A
Don't be afraid to find your light
D
Embrace the day
          Bm
At night, we're here to fight
               E
We all go wild again
                 C#m
And you have the name
             D
Of someone I love
               F#m
You said, just keep it true
F#m
Lift up your name
Em
Seasons change
         A           D
You know it'll never be the same
                  Bm
We'll see the sun again
              E
And before it fades
