posted by eduardopaulo The whole song is basically F (with a C in the bass) and C , with the F briefly going to an F4 in the verse, and there's a G in the end of the chorus (exactly in the word "told"). The little piano fill that introduces the song is A G E D C I'm sure you'll figure out this song quite easily ;) (piano fill) F F4 F Why not say it like it is C Like you know you should F F4 F Before they break your little heart C Ooh, break it good Feelings on the inside Never let you down So why not say it like it is Even if it don't make your mama proud Why change your mind when you make it up Second chances don't come easy, easy for some Baby I don't know the lock from the key But I know one of them is you And the other one's me F C So if it's happiness you want F C That's what you'll get F You gotta rise up, little sister C Turn on the light F G Wise up to the stories you've been told F 'Cause love don't come in black or white F4 F C No no no no. My mama tells me I won't get through the pearly gates 'Cause I ain't sorry for my sins And all my mistakes Mama I don't know if I'm goin' up or down, But I know heaven's gonna be one lonely town But if it's happiness you want, That's what you'll get You gotta rise up, little sister Turn on the light Wise up to the stories you've been told 'Cause love don't come in black or white Whoa no no no, whooo no.
