What Do You Say
Reba McEntire
Capo: First Fret
GStuck at a red light outside an adDult book store
His Cadd9son said, daddy, what are all those x's Am7for,
GAs the light turned green he changed the sDubject fast
Starting tCadd9alking about football as they dAm7rove right pGast
So wDhat do you say in a moAment like this,
When you cGan't find the words to tell it like it Ais,
DJust bite your tongue and lAet your heart lead the way,
Let's gGet out of here Wo oh What do you sDay,
GSeventeen years old she was oDut with her friends,
They started dCadd9rinking at some party, 
Till she was there sheets to the Am7wind,
GHer mommy always told her she could caDll no matter what,
She was Cadd9crying on the front steps when her Am7mom showed Gup,
So wDhat do you say in a moAment like this,
When you cGan't find the words to tell it like it Ais,
DJust bite your tongue and lAet your heart lead the way,
Let's gGet out of here Wo oh What do you sDay,
SomeGtimes you've got to listen Dto the silence,
And gGive yourself a little time to tDhink,
GHer every breath is weaker tAhan the last,
And Cadd9lately when she sleeps she talks about the Am7past,
GHer husband knows she's tDire of holding on,
She Cadd9looks at him and says, I want to go hAm7ome,
So wDhat do you say in a moAment like this,
When you cGan't find the words to tell it like it Ais,
Just clDose your eyes and Alet your heart lead the way,
GWo oh What do you Dsay, 
Just clDose your eyes and let your hAeart lead the wGay,
                  D                D   G-            D  
Oh what do you say, oo what do you say,
