Intro:(F#m E A F#m A E)2x

  F#m
   Don't damn me
            E               A
   When I speak a piece of my mind
           F#m
   'Cause silence isn't golden
             A            E
   When I'm holding it inside
                 F#m
   'Cause I've been where I have been
             E                A
   And I've seen what I have seen
            F#m
   I put the pen to the paper
          A                  E  F#m
   'Cause it's all a part of me

  F#m              A               E
   Be it a song or a casual conversation
       F#m
   To hold my tongue speaks
    A             E
   Of quiet reservations
         F#m
   Your words once heard
        A                    E
   They can place you in a faction
      F#m
   My words may disturb
       A                 E      (F#m E A F#m A E)2x  
   But at least there's reaction

    F#m
   Sometimes I wanna kill
      A                E
   Sometimes I wanna die
            F#m
   Sometimes I wanna destroy
        A             E
   Sometimes I wanna cry
      F#m
   Sometimes I could get even
        A                E
   Sometimes I could give up
        F#m
   Sometimes I could give
           A                 E
   Sometimes I never give a fuck

    F#m  A    D
   It's only for a while
      A        D
   I hope you undersdtand
           B        E
   I never wanted this to happen
           B        E
   Didn't want to be a man

         A      D
   So I hid inside my world
      A         D
   I took what I could find
       B         E
   I cried when I was lonely
                           C#
   I feel down when I was blind

         F#m                  E
   But don't damn me when I speak
               A
   A piece of my mind
           F#m
   'Cause silence isn't golden
         A                E
   When I'm holding it inside
                F#m
   'Cause I've been where I have been
             E                 A
   And I've seen what I have seen
             F#m
   I put the pen to the paper
              A               E  F#m
   'Cause it's all a part of me

  F#m           A        E
   How can I ever satisfy you
  F#m             A             E
   And how can I ever make you see
      F#m                  A       E
   That deep inside we're all somebody
  F#m                       A         E
   And it don't matter who you wanna be
        A      D            A         D
   But now I gotta smile I hope you comprehend
             B        E
   For this man can stay it happened
                 B              E
   'Cause this child has been condemned
          A        D
   So I stepped into your world
      A          D
   I kicked you in the mind
         B       E
   And I'm the only witness
           E            C#m
   To the nature of my crime

         F#m
   But look at what we've done
           E            A
   To the innocent and young
       F#m
   Whoa listen to who's talkin'
           A                   E
   'Cause we're not the only ones
          F#m
   The trash collected by the eyes
    E                    A
   And dumped into the brain
          F#m
   Said it tears into our consciuos thoughts
    A                      E
   You tell me who's to blame

  D                  A              E
   I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'
  D                     A                E
   And I know you don't wanna hear me deny
  D              A                        E
   That your satisfaction lies in your illusions
  D              A                        E
   But your delusions are yours and not mine
  D                 A                      E
   We take for granted we know the whole story
                D
   We judge a book by it's cover
              A
   And read what we want
       E                (F#m E A F#m A E)2x
   Between selected lines

          F#m
   Don't hail me
             E
   And don't idolize the ink
   A          F#m
   Or I've failed in my attentions
        A               E
   Can you find the missin' link
         F#m            E                       A
   Your only validation is in living your own life
      F#m                 A                   E
   Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time
    F#m            A              E
   So I send this song to the offended
     F#m                         A        E
   I said what I meant and I've never pretended
          F#m               A                  E
   As so many others do intending just to please
       F#m
   If I damned your point of view
          A                    E  (F#m E A F#m A E)2x  (D A F#m)3x  
   Could you turn the other cheek                 D E C# E C# F#m

    F#m
   Don't damn me
            E               A
   When I speak a piece of my mind
            F#m
   'Cause silence it's not golden
          A               E
   When I'm holding it inside
          F#m
   I've been where I have been
              E                A
   And I've seen what I have seen
           F#m
   Put the pen to the paper
            A                 E
   'Cause it's all a part of me
    F#m         E
   Don't damn me
  A        F#m         A
   I said don't damn me
  E        F#m         E
   I said don't hail me
  A   F#m       A E F#m E C# F#m C# D# E B A E
   Don't damn me
                           F#m
   All right that's stopped!
