Ladilala so this is the first tab i've written. It's a simpler way of playing Say by
Mayer and i think it sounds okay for me just playing around with some tabs. :] feel free to
or add around stuff.

"Say" [CAPO 2] [the way i play it]
 
C                 F         Am
Take all of your wasted honor
Cmaj9            F  Am     C
Every little past frustration
C                F              Am
Take all of your so-called problems,
Cmaj9        F     Am     C
Better put 'em in quotations
 
C                     F
Say what you need to say
Am                   Cmaj9
Say what you need to say
C                     F
Say what you need to say
Am                    G   C
Say what you need to say
[x2]
 
Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead,
If you could only . . .
 
Say what you need to say [x8]
 
Dm                F      G
Have no fear for giving in
Dm                F     G
Have no fear for giving over
Dm          F       G
You'd better know that in the end
F
Its better to say too much
           G
Then never say what you need to say again
 
       Cmaj9        F       Am
Even if your hands are shaking
           Cmaj9   F  Am
And your faith is broken
Cmaj9        F          Am
Even as the eyes are closing
              C      F   Am
Do it with a heart wide open
