Verse 1:

(Riff 1)
(Riff 1)
Y[C]ou're as tight as a hunter's [Am]trap
Hidden w[F]ell
What are you conc[C]ealing
(Riff 1)
P[C]oker face carved in [Am]stone
Almost friends but all al[F]one
Why do you h[C]ide?

Chorus:
(Riff 2 - until end of chorus)
S[C]ay something, say something, [Am]anything
I've shown you eve[F]rything
Give me a [C]sign
S[C]ay something, say something, [Am]anything
Your silence is de[F]afening
Pay me un[C]kind

Verse 2:
(Riff 1)
T[C]ake a drug to set you [Am]free
Strange fruit from a forbidden [F]tree
You've got to come do[C]wn soon
(Riff 2)
C Am (Riff 3)
Whole lot of drug is what I need
F (Riff 3)
Need a change of scenery
Need a new l[C]ife

Chorus (Riff 3 after each line)

Break (drum solo with Riff 2 and Riff 4)

(Riff 2)
S[C]ay something, say something, [Am]anything
I've shown you ever[F]ything
Give me a s[C]ign
I[C]'m open, wide open, won[Am]dering
Have you swallowed ev[F]erything
Pay me un[C]kind
