Can't Say It Like I Mean It

 
              Intro 
 
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

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
