posted by eduardopaulo The whole song is basically F5 (with a C5 in the bass) and C5 , with the F5 briefly going to an F5 in the verse, and there's a G5 in the end of the chorus (exactly in the word "told"). The little piano fill that introduces the song is A5 G5 E5 D5 C5 I'm sure you'll figure out this song quite easily ;) (piano fill) F5 F5 F5 Why not say it like it is C5 Like you know you should F5 F5 F5 Before they break your little heart C5 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 F5 C5 So if it's happiness you want F5 C5 That's what you'll get F5 You gotta rise up, little sister C5 Turn on the light F5 G5 Wise up to the stories you've been told F5 'Cause love don't come in black or white F5 F5 C5 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.
