 Chorus: Fm D# Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind Fm G# D# 'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside Fm 'Cause I've been where I have been D# And I've seen what I have seen Fm G# D# Fm I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me Fm G# D# Be it a song or a casual conversation Fm G# D# To hold my tongue speaks of quiet reservations Fm G# D# Your words, once heard, they can place you in a faction Fm G# D# My words may disturb, but at least there's a reaction Fm Sometimes I wanna kill G# D# Sometimes I wanna die Fm Sometimes I wanna destroy G# D# Sometimes I wanna cry Fm Sometimes I could get even G# D# Sometimes I could give up Fm Sometimes I could give G# D# Sometimes I never give a fuck C# It's only for a while G# C# I hope you understand D# I never wanted this to happen 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 C I fell down when I was blind Chorus How can I ever satisfy you? And how can I ever make you see that Deep inside, we're all somebody And it don't matter who you, you wanna be? But now I gotta smile, I hope you comprehend For, this man can say it happened 'cause this child has been condemned So I stepped into your world, I kicked you in the mind And I'm the only witness to the nature of my crime Chorus 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# Between selected lines Chorus: Don't hail me and don't idolize the ink Or I've failed in my intentions Can you find the missing link? Your only validation is living your own life Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time So I send this song to the offended I said what I meant and I've never pretended As so many others do, intending just to please If I damned your point of view Could you turn the other cheek? Chorus: Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind 'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside 'Cause I've been where I've been and I've seen what I have seen I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me Don't damn me I said, don't damn me I said, don't hail me Ah, don't damn me Ouh Smoke 'em if you got 'em Alright, that sucked You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC  C#  D#  Fm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
