Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Take out all your wasted  honor
 Every little past  frustration
 Take all of your so  called problems
 Better put them in  quotations
 Say what you need  to say
 Say what you need  to say
 Repeat chorus (x3)
 Walking like a one  man army
 Fighting with the shadows in  your head
 Living on the same  old moment
 Knowing you'll be better off  instead,  if you could only
 Repeat chorus (x4)
 Have no fear  for giving in
 Have no fear  for giving all  of it
 You better know  that in the end
 Its better you say  too much
 Than never to say  what you need to say again
 Even if your hands  are shaking
 And your faith  is broken
 Even as the eyes  are closing
 Do it with a heart  wide open,  a wide heart
 Repeat chorus (x9)
