Em G Em G D [Chorus 1]
EmG Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind
EmGD '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
EmGD Em I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me
 [Verse 1]
EmGD Be it a song or a casual conversation
EmGD To hold my tongue speaks of quiet reservations
EmGD Your words, once heard, they can place you in a faction
EmGD My words may disturb, but at least there's a reaction
Em D Em G D Em D Em G D [Bridge]
Em Sometimes I wanna kill
GD Sometimes I wanna die
Em Sometimes I wanna destroy
GD Sometimes I wanna cry
Em Sometimes I could get even
GD Sometimes I could give up
Em Sometimes I could give
GD Sometimes I never give a fuck
 [Pre-Chorus]
C It's only for a while
GC 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
GC I took what I could find
D I cried when I was lonely
B I fell down when I was blind
 [Chorus 1]
EmG Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind
EmGD 'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside
Em 'Cause I've been where I have been
DG And I've seen what I have seen
EmGD Em I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me
 [Verse 2]
EmGD How can I ever satisfy you?
EmGD And how can I ever make you see that
EmGD Deep inside, we're all somebody
EmGD 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
GC So I stepped into your world
GC I kicked you in the mind
DB And I'm the only witness to the nature of my crime
 [Chorus 2]
Em But look at what we've done
DG To the innocent and young
Em Whoa, listen to who's talking
GD 'Cause we're not the only ones
Em The trash collected by the eyes
DG And dumped into the brain
Em Said, it tears into our conscious thoughts
GD You tell me, who's to blame?
 [Bridge]
CGD I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'
CGD And I know you don't wanna hear me deny
CGD That your satisfaction lies in your illusion
CGD But your delusions are yours, and not mine
CGD We take for granted we know the whole story
CG We judge a book by its cover and read what we want
DEm D Em G DEm D Em G D Between selected lines
 [Chorus 3]
EmG Don't hail me and don't idolize the ink
Em Or I've failed in my intentions
GD Can you find the missing link?
EmG Your only validation is living your own life
EmGD Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time
 [Verse 3]
EmGD So I send this song to the offended
EmGD I said what I meant and I've never pretended
EmGD As so many others do, intending just to please
Em If I damned your point of view
GD Could you turn the other cheek?
 [Chorus 1]
EmG Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind
EmGD '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
EmGD Em I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me
EmGEmG Don't damn me ,I said, don't damn me
EmG
