D
Paint my face in your magazines
Dsus2
Make it look whiter than it seems
D
Paint me over with your dreams
Dsus2
Shove away my ethnicity
D
Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight
Dsus2
And say just what is on my mind
D
Without offending your might
Chorus
D Em G A D
Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
D Em G A D
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
D
So say what you want
D
I saw her face outside today
Dsus2
Weatherworn, looking all the rage
D
They took her passion and her gaze and made a poster
Dsus2
Now it's moccasins we sport
D
We take the culture and contort
Dsus2
Perhaps only to distort what we are hiding
Chorus
D Em G A D
Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
D Em G A D
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
D
But say what you want
Bridge
D Dsus2 Dsus4
Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in, get in
Hey you, the one that don't fit in, how ya, how ya gonna get in
Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in with your
Broken teeth, broken jaw, broken mojo
Chorus
D Em G A D
Yeah, this life is too short to live it just for you
D Em G A D
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
D Em G A D
Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
D Em G A D
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
D Em G A D
So say what you want, say what you want, say what you want
