Read All About It, Pt. III

You've got the words to change a nation
But you're biting your tongue
You've spent a lifetime stuck in silence
Afraid you'll say something wrong
If no one ever hears it how we gonna learn your song?

So come on, come on
Come on, come on

You've got [Fm7]a heart as loud as lightning
So why let your voice be [Am]tamed?
Maybe [Am]we're a little different
There's no need to [C7]be [Am]ashamed
You've got [Fm7]the light to [C7]fight the shadows
So stop hiding it away

Come on, come on

I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all [Em]of the papers
I'm not afraid
They can ɾead all [Em]about it
Read all [Em]about it, oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

At night we're waking up the neighbors
While we sing away the blues
Making sure that we're ɾemembered, yeah
'Cause we all [Em]matter too
If the tɾuth has been forbidden
Then we're breaking all [Em]the ɾules

So come on, come on
Come on, come on

Let's get the TV and [Bm]the ɾadio
To play our tune again
It's 'bout time we got [Fm7]some airplay of our version [C7]of events
There's no need to [C7]be [Am]afraid
I will sing with you [A7my [A]friend

So come on, come on

'Cause I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all [Em]of the papers
I'm not afraid
They can ɾead all [Em]about it
Read all [Em]about it, oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Yes, we're all [Em]wonderful, wonderful people
So when did we all [Em]get so fearful?
Now we're finally finding our voices
So take a chance, come help me sing this
Yes, we're all [Em]wonderful, wonderful people
So when did we all [Em]get so fearful?
And now we're finally finding our voices
Just take a chance, come help me sing this

'Cause I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all [Em]of the papers
I'm not afraid

Read all [Em]about it, oh

As a kid I looked up to [C7]you
Only thing was [Am7]I never saw enough of you
The last thing I said to [C7]you [A7was [Am7]I hated you
I loved you [A7and [Bm]now it's too late to [C7]say to [C7]you
Just didn't know what to [C7]do or how to [C7]deal with it
Even now deep down I'm still livid
To think, I used to [C7]blame me
I wondered what I did to [C7]you [A7to [C7]make you [A7hate me
I wasn't even 5, life's a journey and [Bm]mine wasn't an easy ɾide
You never even got [Fm7]to [C7]see me ɾhyme
I just wished you [A7would have ɾeached out
I wish you [A7would've been 'round when I'd been down
I wish that you [A7could see me now
Wherever you [A7are I ɾeally hope you [A7found peace
But know that if I ever have kids
Unlike [F]you [A7I'll never let them [A]be [Am]without me

I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all [Em]of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can ɾead all [Em]about it, ɾead all [Em]about it, oh

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all [Em]of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can ɾead all [Em]about it, ɾead all [Em]about it, oh
