(Riff 1)
C Am
You're as tight as a hunter's trap
F
Hidden well
C
What are you concealing
(Riff 1)
C Am
Poker face carved in stone
F
Almost friends but all alone
C
Why do you hide?
Chorus:
(Riff 2 - until end of chorus)
C Am
Say something, say something, anything
F
I've shown you everything
C
Give me a sign
C Am
Say something, say something, anything
F
Your silence is deafening
C
Pay me unkind
Verse 2:
(Riff 1)
C Am
Take a drug to set you free
F
Strange fruit from a forbidden tree
C
You've got to come down soon

Whole lot of drug is what I need
F (Riff 3)
Need a change of scenery
C
Need a new life
*Chorus (Riff 3 after each line)
Break (drum solo with Riff 2 and Riff 4)
(Riff 2)

Say something, say something, anything
F
I've shown you everything
C
Give me a sign
C Am
I'm open, wide open, wondering
F
Have you swallowed everything
C
Pay me unkind
