Song: Pay The Man
Key: F#m
[Intro]
F#m
What you mean, what you mean
What you mean, man, what you mean
F#m
What you mean, yeah, what you see
What you see, yeah, oh
[Verse 1]
N.C.
Well I need a little something to pull my head off
N.C.
Need a little something to pull my head off, yeah
F#m
Need a little something because I've been running from the truth
Will never lose
Lies come from loose teeth
Tied to the noose
F#m
Climbing up my own tree hoping it can hold
Dmaj7
All the things I've seen but I've chosen to ignore, hmm
Dmaj7
Well, I said, well I believe I've been well fed, yeah
But the wolf's not dead
[Chorus]
F#m
Say what you love, it's alright
Em
Don't be afraid to find your light
Dmaj7
Embrace the day, like night
Bm
We hear the fire
E
We all go wild again
C#m Dmaj7
And you have the name of someone I love
F#m
You said, just keep it true, lift up your name
Em Dmaj7
Seasons change, you know it will never be the same
Bm
We'll see the sun again
E
Before it fades
C#m Dmaj7
I just wanna say that I love you
[Verse 2]
F#m
Pay the man, pay the man
Got to pay the man, run as fast as you can
F#m
Call out to God, praise to the Most High
Call out for help cause I'm playing with fire
F#m
Call out to mountains till my voice goes faint
Echoes through time then goes back with new strength
Dmaj7
(And when it's raining we're sailing
Dmaj7
Oh yeah, we're sailing, we're sailing)
I'm off the leash, I go to war for peace
F#m
'Cause I've been touching everything that I can
I've got blood on my hands
F#m
Guess I'm going deaf with the cry of this sin
Oh please forgive me I don't understand
We all believe we've been well fed, yeah
N.C.
The deaf man heard what the mute man said
Then they all followed where the blind man led
[Chorus]
F#m
Say what you love, it's alright
Em
Don't be afraid to find your light
Dmaj7
Embrace the day, like night
Bm
We hear the fire
E
We all go wild again
C#m Dmaj7
And you have the name of someone I love
