Foster the People Pay the Man Lyrics

Not important but just in case you want to know it. Just before they start singing.
Listen the song for tempo and strumming, it's easy.
0:07
F#m (let it ring...)
What you mean, what you mean?
What you mean, man, what you mean?
What you mean, yeah, what you see?
What you see, yeah, oh yeah
(No guitar)
Well I need a little something to pull my head off
Need a little something to pull my head off,
(yeah need a little something...
...Because I've been running)
from the truth, will never lose
Lies come from loose teeth, tied to the noose
Climbing up my own tree hoping it can hold
All the things I've seen but I've chosen to ignore
Mmmm... Well, I said, well I believe I've been well fed, yeah
(But the wolf's not dead)
horus
Guitar 1 (chords are not named exactly like this, but I did it so you could follow it with the chords below)
Guitar 2
Say what you love, it's alright
Don't be afraid to find the light
Embrace the day, like night
We hear the fire
We all go wild again
And you have the name
Of someone I love (You said)
Just keep it true, Lift up your name
Seasons change, You know it'll never be the same,
We'll see the sun again,
Before it fades,
I just wanna say that I love you
Pre-verse
Pay the man, pay the man
Got to pay the man, Run as fast as you can
Call out to God, praise to the Most High
Call out for help cause I'm playing with fire
Call out to mountains till my voice goes faint
Echoes through time that goes back with new strength
And when it's raining, 2e're sailing Oh yeah, we're sailing,
We're sailing (I'm off the leash, I go to war for peace)
Must've been touching everything that I can
I've got blood on my hands, guess I'm going deaf with
the cry of this sin please forgive me I don't understand
We all believe we've been well fed, yeah
The deaf man heard what the mute man said
Then they all followed where the blind man led
horus
Guitar 1 (same as before)
Guitar 2
Say what you love, it's alright
Don't be afraid to find the light
Embrace the day, like night
We hear the fire
We all go wild again
And you have the name
Of someone I love (You said)
Just keep it true, Lift up your name
Seasons change, You know it'll never be the same,
We'll see the sun again,
Before it fades,
I just wanna say that I love you

(Pay the man, pay the man
Pay the man, pay the man you got to)
Pay the man, pay the man you got to
Pay the man, pay the man
I was laughing real hard until my teeth fell out
Laughing real hard until my teeth fell out
Was laughing real hard but my teeth fell out
Need a little something, yeah
Need a little something
Listen to it for tempo. It keeps going until the end of the song
I turned it down one octave so it can be played easily on a guitar. Also,
although these are the correct notes, I believe they are almost sliding all the notes.
Guitar 2: same chords as chorus
horus
Guitar 1 + solo
Guitar 2
(You said)Just keep it true, Lift up your name
Seasons change, You know it'll never be the same,
We'll see the sun again,
Before it fades,
I just wanna say that I love you
Can't you see, can't see me
Can't see me, can't see me
And can't see me, can't see me
We all run when the light comes on
Am I wrong, for wanting it all?
But I warned you
