Куплет 1: (0:30-)

G Every generation______

Cmaj7 Blames the one before___

And G all of their frustrations____

Come Cmaj7 beating on your door._____

I Dm/F know that I'm a prisoner

To all my father held so dear

I Am know that I'm a hostage

To all his hopes and fears

I just D wish I could have told him

C/D In the D living G years. oh,

[Verse 2] (1:08-)

Crumpled bits of paper

Filled with imperfect thought

Stilted conversations

I'm afraid that's all we've got.

You say you just don't see it

He says it's perfect sense

You just can't get agreement

In this present tense

We all talk a different language

Talking in defence.

Припев: (1:48-)

Say it G loud, say it C clear

You can Am listen as D well as you G hear

It's too G late when we C die

To Am ad-mit we don't D see eye to G eye.

[Verse 3] (2:27-)

So we open up a quarrel

Between the present and the past

We only sacrifice the future

It's the bitterness that lasts.

So don't yield to the fortunes

You sometimes see as fate

It may have a new perspective

On a different day

And if you don't give up, and don't give in

You may just be OK.

(Chorus) (3:06-)

[Verse 4] (3:45-)

I wasn't there that morning

When my father passed away

I didn't get to tell him

All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit

Later that same year

I'm sure I heard his echo

In my baby's new born tears

I just with I could have told him

In the living years

(Chorus) (4:23-)

Кода: (5:02-)

Say it G loud, say it C clear
