Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Let's [Dm]get it straight
Let's get it straight from [C]the top
You'll be getting with your usual
main ingredi[G]ent
[Bdim]You're good at talking
When [G]you say it, [Am]are you meaning it?
I don't wanna give you my heart
[Dm]If you're not completing

[Verse 2]
it
I'm blown away at how
your family
[Am]Your friends [C]just accept it though
No one's ever told you, [G]no
Can't expect you to know how to love
When it [Am]was somethin' you
were never [F]taught

[Verse 3]
But [G]honesty
Is [Am]the one true way to start [C]again[F]
Just be good [G]to yourself and
[Am]love those unspoken
Instead of always broken,
[C]but[F] honestly[G]
When your [Am]heart decides
to let someone [F]in
Just be cau[G]tious of the next one
[Am][Dm]

[Verse 4]
You win
I never wanted to pay [C]what
was mean to screw me up
But I see you're into [G]playing it
Makes [Bdim]me feel sorry for [G]the way
you like dis[Am]playing it
Now the truth is really told,
[Dm]you are betraying it
I gotta say, I [C]never felt you hold us up
Were you embar[G]rassed by me?

[Verse 5]
Oh, somethin' [Am]I'm gonna have to pay for,
[F]but honesty
[G]Shoulda been the[Am] one true
way to start [G]again[F]
Just [G]be straight with yourself and
[Am]love those unspoken
Instead of always [F]broken, but hon[G]estly
If your [Am]heart decides to feel [G]again[F]
Just be care[G]ful of the next one

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][G]
[Am][C][F]

[G][Am][F]
[G][Am]

[Verse 6]
[F]How completely [G]let down
How completely let [Am]down I [F]feel
How completely in [G]awe
When I can see it [Am]all

[Verse 7]
No I can see it all
[F]
But honesty
[G]Coulda been the[Am] one true
way to love [G]again[F]
Just [G]be straight with yourself and
[Am]love those unspoken
Instead of always [F]broken, but hon[G]estly
If your [Am]heart decides to love [G]again[F]
Just be thank[G]ful for the next
[Am]one

[Verse 8]

Thankful, thankful, thankful
