Intro
G G G G
Verse
G A
There’s a sadness in the heart now of the imitation zone
G A
Don’t forget about your brothers if you go at it alone
G A G
And I could almost take a whole life, to disclose how I feel about the now
A
Can’t give you an insightful conclusion
G A
So if time is predicated on abstractions in a void
G A
Do not subjugate yourself capitulating to the noise
G A G
If I could reach out through the screen and give you something to believe in, I would
A
But I’m with you in amongst the confusion
Chorus
D G
It’s okay, don’t fear
A Bm
Go be part of the new sincere
D G
Do not let your heart go
A G
To shit, enslaved to ephemera
Post-Chorus
G
Verse
G A
Our childhood is memory, still ascended high in dreams
G A
And I’m suspending what I held for preconceptions of my being
G A G
I only say this to affirm our time is short, but we’ve will to carry on
A
Transcend with our scars and confusions
G A
I was furious and dumb, lighting fires through the town
G A
I’d play the fiddle and forget whatever I was pissed about
G A G
I know that most of you relates to some extent, and God, I know how lame it sounds
A
But I’m glad I became more human
Chorus
D G
Stay, don’t go
A Bm
We’re like halfway through the halftime show
D G
Do not let this one end
A G
Before you emerge as the winner
Post-Chorus
A Bm D
G A Bm D
Verse
G A
Hey, it’s me, I’m bringing you a case of Dry
Bm D G
And words un-engendered fuck this, dumb city sleeps in the night
A
And I won’t leave you hanging in the wind
Bm D A
So let me love with a vengeance my sad, sweet and unfinished friend
Bm
And we can go and mock the skyline now
D G A
Those bourgie windows full of dickheads we don’t know a thing about
Bm
You wanna feel absolved tonight
D G A
I’ve heard what you’re saying, it’s okay not to be so alright
Bridge
Bm
But don’t be alone
D G
Did I tell you that I spent most of my sister’s wedding stoned?
A Bm
Say what you want with blood and bone
D G
And stick a finger in their faces when they say you’re overblown
A Bm
Say yes to sun, say yes to pain,
D G
say yes to sticking with a city through a thousand days of rain
A Bm
Say yes to grace, say no to spite
D G
Say yes to this, say yes to you, say yes to me, say yes to love
D C#m Bm G F#m G
Say yes to life
D C#m G F#m Em G
Say, say yes to life
