Cmaj7               G6           D         Cmaj7 Cadd9 G D
Why am I always the last one to say how I feel?

          Cmaj7                          G6
It's like driving down the middle of the road

        D            Cmaj7 Cadd9 G D
with no hands on the wheel

           Cmaj7                  G6           D                   Cmaj7 Cadd9 G D
And I keep hearing stories about the guy who was killed while he prayed

Cmaj7               G6           D                              Cmaj7 Cadd9 G D
Well you should go ahead and say it 'cause we're all gonna die anyway
[Chorus]
           Em
State your peace,

G                    Cadd9                     D
go ahead and say it, I swear it can't get much worse

       Em       G
Make a piece of history,

  Cadd9         D
a blessing from a curse

        Cmaj7                 G6          D           Cmaj7 Cadd9 G D
You can try and be a hero but people keep dying every day

        Cmaj7               G6           D              Cmaj7 Cadd9 G D
You can keep earning money but your money keeps burning away

Cmaj7               G6           D                             Cmaj7 Cadd9 G D
And it feels like the future's always waiting on the tip of my tongue

Cmaj7               G6            D                  Cmaj7       Cadd9 G D
Like a cat holding back till it's too late, the damage is done
[Chorus]
           Em
State your peace,

G                    Cadd9                     D
go ahead and say it, I swear it can't get much worse

       Em       G
Make a piece of history,

  Cadd9         D                                G
a blessing from a curse... before it gets worse

You can try and change the world by showing everyone a better way

        Cmaj7                 G6           D                      Cmaj7
