--------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             Can't Say What I Mean - Kaiser Chiefs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: standard

Intro:

    C# 
e|-----|
B|-----|
G|--6--|
D|--6--|
A|--4--|
E|-----|

Also the chord through all the verse if you wan’t to play it like the keyboard.

Pre-chorus:

What I Mean....
    C#                      E       C#                    E
e|----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-9-9-9-9-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-9-9-9-9-|
D|--6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-9-9-9-9-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-9-9-9-9-|

E|----------------------------------------------------------------|

The first time when this is played without going into the chorus 
you don’t play the E at the end just continue with the C#

It’s tempting to match the keyboard rhythm on this but guitar doesn’t seem to do that.

Chorus:
  
  Meheheeeennnnn...
  G#m
e|-4-4-4-X--4-4-4-X-|
B|-4-4-4-X--4-4-4-X-|
G|-4-4-4-X--4-4-4-X-|
D|-6-6-6-X--6-6-6-X-|
A|-6-6-6-X--6-6-6-X-|
E|-4-4-4-X--4-4-4-X-| etc then to C#

   C#                      
e|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|
D|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|
A|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
E|---------------------------------| etc then back to G#m 

End of the chorus:

 What a face...
    C#D#E  
e|----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-6-8-9-9998-6-666-8-9-9998-6-666-8-9-9999999999999-8-4----|
D|-6-8-9-9998-6-666-8-9-9998-6-666-8-9-9999999999999-8-4----|
A|-4-6-7-7776-4-444-6-7-7776-4-444-6-7-7777777777777-6-6----|  
E|----------------------------------------------------------|

This isn’t played on the first chorus.

Riff on the last verse:

    Great things...
e|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|--6-6-4-6-4------------------------------|
D|------------6-6-6-4-6-4------------------|
A|------------------------8-8-8-6-8-6-4~---|
E|-----------------------------------------|
