-in the verse try to use the chord D and its combinations (Dsus2,Dsus4)
Verse I
D
Paint my face in your magazines
Make it look whiter than it seems
Paint me over with your dreams
Shove away my ethnicity
Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight
And say just what is on my mind
Without offending your might
Chorus
D Em G D
Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
D Em G D
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
D
So say what you want
Verse II
D
I saw her face outside today
Weatherworn, looking all the rage
They took her passion and her gaze and made a poster
Now it's moccasins we sport

We take the culture and contort
Perhaps only to distort what we are hiding
Chorus
D Em G D
Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
D Em G D
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
But say what you want
Bridge
D
Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in, get in
Hey you, the one that don't fit in, how ya, how ya gonna get in
Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in with your
Broken teeth, broken jaw, broken mojo
D Em G D
Yeah, this life is too short to live it just for you
D Em G D
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
So say what you want, say what you want, say what you want
