Pay the Man  Foster the People

Key: F#m
[Intro] 
[F#m] What you mean, what you mean
What you mean, man, what you mean
[F#m] What you mean, yeah, what you see
What you see, yeah, oh
[Verse 1] 
N.C.
Well I need a little something to pull my head off
N.C.
Need a little something to pull my head off, yeah
Need a little something because I've been running from the [F#m]truth
Will never lose
Lies come from loose teeth
Tied to the noose
Climbing up my [F#m]own tree hoping it can hold
All the things I've seen but I've chosen to ignore, hmm[Dmaj7]
Well, I said, well I believe I've [Dmaj7]been well fed, yeah
But the wolf's not dead
[Cborus] 
[F#m]Say what you love, it's alright
[Em]Don't be afraid to find your light
[Dmaj7]Embrace the day, like night
[Bm]We hear the fire
We all go wild a[E]gain
And you have the [C#m]name of someone I [Dmaj7]love
You said, just [F#m]keep it true, lift up your name
[Em]Seasons change, you know it will never [Dmaj7]be the same
We'll see the sun a[Bm]gain
Before it [E]fades
I just wann[C#m]a say that I love [Dmaj7]you
[Verse 2] 
[F#m] Pay the man, pay the man
Got to pay the man, run as fast as you can
[F#m] Call out to God, praise to the Most High
Call out for help cause I'm playing with fire
[F#m] Call out to mountains till my voice goes faint
Echoes through time then goes back with new strength
(And when it's [Dmaj7]raining we're sailing
Oh yeah, we're sailing, we're [Dmaj7]sailing)
I'm off the leash, I go to war for peace
[F#m]'Cause I've been touching everything that I can
I've got blood on my hands
Guess I'm going deaf with the [F#m]cry of this sin
Oh please forgive me I don't understand
We all believe we've been well fed, yeah
N.C.
The deaf man heard what the mute man said
Then they all followed where the blind man led
[Cborus] 
[F#m]Say what you love, it's alright
[Em]Don't be afraid to find your light
[Dmaj7]Embrace the day, like night
[Bm]We hear the fire
We all go wild a[E]gain
And you have the [C#m]name of someone I [Dmaj7]love
You said, just [F#m]keep it true, lift up your name
[Em]Seasons change, you know it will never [Dmaj7]be the same
We'll see the sun a[Bm]gain
Before it [E]fades
I just wann[C#m]a say that I love [Dmaj7]you
[Bridge] 
(Pay the man, pay the man, pay the man)
Pay the man, you got t[Dmaj7]o pay the man
[C#m] Pay the man, you got to[A] pay the man
[G] Pay the man
I was [G]laughing real hard until my [A]teeth fell out
[Dmaj7]Laughing real hard until my [C#m]teeth fell out
Was [A]laughing real hard but my [G]teeth fell out
Need a little something, yeah
[A]Need a little something
(A little something, little something, little something)

We'll see the sun a[Bm]gain
Before it [E]fades
I just wann[C#m]a say that I love [Dmaj7]you, hmm
[Outro] 
[F#m]Can't you see, can't see me
[Em]Can't see me, can't see me
And [Dmaj7]can't see me, can't see me
[Bm]We all run when the light comes [E]on
Am I wrong, for [C#m]wanting it all
But I warned [Dmaj7]you, hmm
