Come Right Out And Say It

Chords

Standard

[Verse:]

A                  G
I'd better rest my eyes
                   F
'Cause I'm growing weary of
    (F)                   
This point you've been trying to make
A               G
So rather than imply
                   F
Why don't you just verbalize
       (F)
All the things that you're trying to say

A                              G
Thought this would turn out so well
        F
But I'm beginning to see
    (F)
That instead it's trouble
A                 G
Into a pattern we fell
   F               (F)
Of prolonging the inevitable

[Chorus:]

C
Why don't you
                   A
Come right out and say it?
F
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt
G
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere

C
Why don't you
                   A
Come right out and say it (come right out and say it)?
F
What it is you're thinking
           G
Though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna hear

[Verse:]

A                 G
I better check my pride
              F
Because I was starting to think
(F)
I was on to something good
A                     G
But things started to slide
                  F
And I sit here in retrospect
          (F)
And understanding that I misunderstood
A                            G
Thought I could make up your mind
                 F
And then this decision locks up
  (F)
So tight it couldn't be touched
A                         G
Thought you were being so kind
                 F
But keeping your mouth sealed shut
(F)
Rather than just opening it up

[Chorus]
C
Why don't you
                   A
Come right out and say it?
F
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt
G
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere

C
Why don't you
                   A
Come right out and say it (come right out and say it)?
F
What it is you're thinking
           G
Though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna hear

D
And I tried
   C (1 Strum)
To guess what goes on in your head
A              G
'Cause in your mind
             D
I just might find
          C                 A   G
All those things you left unsaid
D               C (1 Strum)
And I'll try to maybe not regret anything
A       G
Later on after I'm gone
D                C
You'll wish that you
                A  G (Build up) (G)
Had listened to me (listened to me)

[Chorus: Single Strums]


C
Why don't you
A
Come right out and say it
F                          (G)
Even if the words are gonna hurt
We're better off this way
C
Why don't you
A                                 F
Come right out and say come right out and say
                  (G)
What I know you're thinking anyway

[Chorus]
