Get It Honest

[Intro ]
Am   C   G   F 



[Verso 1]
 
      Am                C 
Well, I'm so bored, so bored with being sober 
 G                               F 
Maybe I'll go downtown, to some bar down on Decatur 
          Am                          C 
And I'll drink 'til I remember, I'll drink 'til I get caught 
         G                   F 
While my lover cries and my soul leaves the dock 

       Am                        C 
Oh, I love New Orleans but this city's got my number 
 G                                  F 
And every chance she gets lord she tries to take me under 
             Am                             C 
'Cause it's hard to leave your past and it hurts to wanna wander 
       G                                  F 
But I guess that's what I get for making lightning from the thunder 
 


[Refrão]
 
C 
 But I can't say what I wanna say 
E7 
  While these four walls surround me 
Am 
  I know you feel like I do 
F                             Fm        C 
 You wanna change but you're scared too-oo 

              C         E7 
Leaning on my alibi-i-i-i 
                     Am 
Broken on the insi-i-ide 

I know you feel like I do 
F                             Fm 
 You wanna change but you're scared too 
 


[Verso 2]
 
        Am 
So I'll ask you to forgive me 
          C 
'Cause I haven't called my mother 
     G                                F 
The truth is I'm not busy, I've just been under the weather 
      Am                             C 
Don't ask about my father, what his father did to him 
        G                             F 
There's always a little trauma comin' up around the bend 

        Am                       C 
Oh I'm running in the night to avoid what's really there 
G                              F 
Oh, I got it honest from my anxiety to my hair 
             Am                              C 
'Cause it's hard to leave your past, and it hurts to wanna wander 
   G                                   F 
I guess that's what I get for chasing lightning with the thunder

 You wanna change but you're scared too-oo 

              C         E7 
Leaning on my alibi-i-i-i 
                     Am 
Broken on the insi-i-ide 

I know you feel like I do 
F                             Fm        C    E7 
 You wanna change but you're scared too-oo 
                               Am    F   Fm   C 
Wanna change but you're scared too 
 

Outro 
    C                     E7 
And I can't relate to my past 
                          Am 
These faces and places I pass 
                     F 
All made who I am today 
    Fm                      C 
I'm changing and breaking away 

     C                   E7 
I'm lonely as I've ever been 
                      Am 
Smiling through everythin' 
                       F 
I know you feel like I do 
     Fm                C 
The stranger in me is you
