[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
