Song: Say Anything

Album: Cedar + Gold

The fingerpicking rhythm takes a little getting used to with the repeating bass note.
A good way to start is to play only the bass note while listening to the song so you
can get a feel for the rhythm. The annotations above the tab indicate the basic
finger placement for each section (I don't know the names of the first two chords).

I would tell you that I love you
Even if it didn’t show
Oh, I would tell you that I love you, baby
By now I hope you know
VERSE 2

If you could go anywhere, anywhere, what would you see?
Take a step in any direction, it’s make-believe
If your mind is always moving
It’s hard to get your heart up off the ground
Oh yeah, your mind was always moving
Well your thoughts never made a sound

And we won’t break if we let go
Cause you and I already know
We were bound to be set free eventually
Well, here we are now
You can say anything

VERSE 3
-------
If I could have it go any way, any way, it’d go like this
Take it back to a couple years yesterday to our first kiss
In that moment I loved you
This isn’t how I ever saw it going down
Oh, in that moment I loved you
I wish I knew then what I know now
CHORUS
------
And we won’t break if we let go
Cause you and I already know
We were bound to be set free eventually
Well here we are now
You can say anything
[CONTINUE CHORUS] (C/G/Em/D only)
You can say anything
BRIDGE
------
[SAME AS CHORUS] (C/G/Em/D only) x2
Oh, you should listen to your heart
It’s gonna tell you what you need
And take care of yourself
And don’t you worry about me
Oh, you should listen to your hea-ea-eart
It’s gonna tell you what you need
To take care of yourself
And don’t you worry about me
CHORUS
------
And we won’t break if we let go
Cause you and I already know
We were bound to be set free eventually
Well, here we are now
You can say anything
[RESUME INTRO]
You can say anything
You can say anything
