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!
