[E]To speak your mind
[G]Took every chance to disa[D]gree
[F]Talked late night talks
[Am]Walked midnight walks
To [F#m]find out what you wanna [D]be[E]
[A]The same old lies
[E]Just compromise
[G]No angry voice amongst the [D]crowd
[F]A world of people keeping [F#m]quiet as they're [D]told[E]
[A]You were the [E]one to speak out [G]loud[D][E]
[A]I wonder how the [E]world would [Dbm]be
If [F#m]everyone could [A]see what you could [D]see[E]

[E]No promised land
[G]Could ever put your mind at [D]ease
[F]When you made [Am]fun of all that [F#m]stardom and [D]fame[E]
[A]They said that [E]you were hard to [G]please[D][E]
[A]I wonder how the [E]world would [Dbm]be

Well, [Fmaj7]I-iiii Never in [E]line
You're still a friend of [A]mine[A7]
[D]We need the [E]stubborn little [A]child[E]
That [D]keeps the naked [Dbm]emperors
From running [F#m]wild
So [E]we might [D]start to talk a[E]bout
What we don't dare to [F#m]see[E]
And [F]maybe find the child
In you and [E]me[D][E]
[A]You took your time
[E]To speak your mind
[G]Until the truth was plain to [D]see
[Dm]We are run by [Dbm]maniacs by [A]maniac [E]means
And [F#m]only love will set us [E]free
[A]I wonder [E]how the world would [Dbm]be
If [F#m]everyone could [A]see what you could [D]see
Yeah [Fmaj7]I-iiii Never in line[E]
[Fmaj7]Pearls before swine[E]
