Written by Lionel Richie [Intro] G D/F# Em G/D C Am G [Chorus]
G        D/F#   Em
Say you, say  me

G/D           C   D7
Say it for always

            G               D
That's the way it should be

G       D/F#    Em
Say you, say me

G/D       C     D7    G      D
Say it together,   naturally
[Verse 1]
G       D/F#              Em         G/D
I had a dream; I had an awesome dream

Am                 G          F              D/F#
People in the park, playing games in the dark

G              D/F#            Em    G/D
And what they played was a masquerade

       Am                     G     F                 D
From behind the walls of doubt, a voice was crying out
[Chorus]
G        D/F#   Em
Say you, say  me

G/D           C   D7
Say it for always

            G               D
That's the way it should be

G       D/F#    Em
Say you, say me

G/D       C     D7    G      D
Say it together,   naturally
[Verse 2]
G        D/F#           Em           G/D
As we go down life's lonesome highway

            Am               G       F                  D
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two

G            D/F#                 Em      G/D
That helping hand someone who understands

               Am                      G
That when you feel you've lost your way

            F                           D
You've got some one there to say, I'll show you
[Chorus]
G        D/F#   Em
Say you, say  me

G/D           C   D7
Say it for always

            G               D
That's the way it should be

G       D/F#    Em
Say you, say me

G/D       C     D7    G      D
Say it together,   naturally
[Bridge]

So you think you know the answers, oh no

          Bb                     F/A
Well the whole world’s got you dancing

                    A/C#   Dm
That's right, I'm telling you

      Bb              F/A     C  G/B
It's time to start believing, oh yes

Bb                          C                D
Believing who you are; you are a shining star
[Chorus]

*The third line of the bridge is very difficult. Going from an A/C# to a Dm as quickly as the song suggests requires a skilled guitarist. That is the only reason this song is considered intermediate. Other than that line, the song can be considered novice. To keep it novice, change the A/C# to A: x7765x and play the Dm: x5776x.
