[Intro] (x2)
Em G Em G D
[Chorus 1]
Em G
Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind
Em G D
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside
Em
'Cause I've been where I have been
G
And I've seen what I have seen
Em G D Em
I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me
[Verse 1]
Em G D
Be it a song or a casual conversation
Em G D
To hold my tongue speaks of quiet reservations
Em G D
Your words, once heard, they can place you in a faction
Em G D
My words may disturb, but at least there's a reaction
[Instrumental]
Em D Em G D Em D Em G D
[Bridge]
Em
Sometimes I wanna kill
G D
Sometimes I wanna die
Em
Sometimes I wanna destroy
G D
Sometimes I wanna cry
Em
Sometimes I could get even
G D
Sometimes I could give up
Em
Sometimes I could give
G D
Sometimes I never give a fuck
[Pre-Chorus]
C
It's only for a while
G C
I hope you understand
D
I never wanted this to happen
D
Didn't want to be a man
C
So I hid inside my world
G C
I took what I could find
D
I cried when I was lonely
B
I fell down when I was blind
[Chorus 1]
Em G
Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind
Em G D
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside
Em
'Cause I've been where I have been
D G
And I've seen what I have seen
Em G D Em
I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me
[Verse 2]
Em G D
How can I ever satisfy you?
Em G D
And how can I ever make you see that
Em G D
Deep inside, we're all somebody
Em G D
And it don't matter who you wanna be?
[Pre-Chorus]
C
But now I gotta smile
C
I hope you comprehend
D
For, this man can say it happened
D
'Cause this child has been condemned
G C
So I stepped into your world
G C
I kicked you in the mind
D B
And I'm the only witness to the nature of my crime
[Chorus 2]
Em
But look at what we've done
D G
To the innocent and young
Em
Whoa, listen to who's talking
G D
'Cause we're not the only ones
Em
The trash collected by the eyes
D G
And dumped into the brain
Em
Said, it tears into our conscious thoughts
G D
You tell me, who's to blame?
[Bridge]
C G D
I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'
C G D
And I know you don't wanna hear me deny
C G D
That your satisfaction lies in your illusion
C G D
But your delusions are yours, and not mine
C G D
We take for granted we know the whole story
C G
We judge a book by its cover and read what we want
D Em D Em G D Em D Em G D
Between selected lines
[Chorus 3]
Em G
Don't hail me and don't idolize the ink
Em
Or I've failed in my intentions
G D
Can you find the missing link?
Em G
Your only validation is living your own life
Em G D
Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time
[Verse 3]
Em G D
So I send this song to the offended
Em G D
I said what I meant and I've never pretended
Em G D
As so many others do, intending just to please
Em
If I damned your point of view
G D
Could you turn the other cheek?
[Chorus 1]
Em G
Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind
Em G D
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside
Em
'Cause I've been where I have been
G
And I've seen what I have seen
Em G D Em
I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me
Em G Em G
Don't damn me ,I said, don't damn me
Em G
I said, don't hail me ,Don't damn me
