                   F#             G#
Well, I've been normal, I've been ostracised
                        C#
I've watched through a window
      F#
As my young self died
                               G#
I've been popular with all the popular guys
            C#
I gave them punchlines
             F#     A#m
They gave me warning signs
       F#          G#
I look okay in the magic hour
       C#                          A#m
In the right light with the right amount of power
        F#                        G#
And I'm okay with the life of the sunflower
        C#                      A#m
And I'm okay with the life of a meteor shower

Chorus:
    F#           G#
So, say what you will
C#                  A#m
Go on, say what you will
                   F#
You're gonna do it anyway
   G#   C#               A#m
Go on, just say what you will
                   F#
You're gonna do it anyway
   G#   C#               A#m
Go on, just say what you will
   F#                        G#
Go on, you're gonna do it anyway,
              C#  A#m
say what you will

I can find my way with no superpowers
I can take my place without becoming sour
I might not make all those psychopaths proud
At least I can see the faces of the smaller crowds
And I'm okay, no, I can drive myself
I've been sobered by my time on the shelf
And I've been normal
And I've been ostracised like a comet
Blazing through an empty sky

Chorus:
So, say what you will
Say what you will (Say what you will)
Say what you will
Say what you will (Say what you will)
So, say what you will
Say what you will (Say what you will)
Say what you will (Say what you will)
(Say what you will)

(Say what you will)
(Say what you will)
(Say what you will)
