[Verse 1]
       A
If you wanna tell me something, say it to my face
      A
Don't spread no rumours, all around the place
             D
Say what you mean,
              A
Mean what you say, aah yeah
           E
If you can get along without me
D
Please don't lie about me
             A
Say what you mean, mean what you say

[Verse 2]
A
No good pretending, there ain't nothing wrong
    A
You know that you can't fool me, I've known you too long
             D
Say what you mean,
              A
Mean what you say
              E
Now don't you try to spare my feeling
D
Give me no trouble dealing
              A
Say what you mean, mean what you say

[Chorus 1]
A
Say what you mean, mean what you say
A
Don't let nobody, stand in your way
              D
Say what you mean,
               A
mean what you say
              E
Ain't no good sittin' on the fence
    D
Cos you ain't makin' sense
             A
Say what you mean, mean what you say

[Chorus 2]
            A
You got to, Say what you mean, mean what you say
A
Don't let nobody, stand in your way
              D
Say what you mean,
               A
mean what you say
               E
Why don't you use your freedom of speech
     D
And practice what you preach
              A
Say what you mean, mean what you say

{Bridge]
D
Your attitude is changing like night and day
A
So confusing when you're acting up this way
D
You can't be trusted 'til you see it in black and white
B
Don't try to fool me
           E7
'cause you know that it ain't right

[Chorus 3]
A
Say what you mean, mean what you say
A
Don't let nobody, stand in your way
              D
Say what you mean,
               A
mean what you say
           E
No need to be inflammatory
       D
Don't give me the hard luck story
             A
Say what you mean, mean what you say

[Outro]
A
Say what you mean, mean what you say
A
Don't let nobody, stand in your way
A
Say what you mean, mean what you say
A
Don't let nobody, stand in your way
