Lyrics with chords:
Dsus2Dsus2/Bb
It must have been hard; staying in line
Dsus2/GDsus2
knowing your influences did it all the time
Dsus2/Bb
It must have been strange; living in blue
Dsus2/G
and see me shut down as though
it was an easy thing to do
FC
But you could tell where I had been
Dsus2
by the way I held my gun
FCDsus2
Trying to write anything while being
mocked by an off beat drum
BbC
But I was not honest
DmC/E
I was not healthy
BbC/GDsus2
I was not honest, honest.
Dsus2C/DBb
You did the right thing, covered your scars
C/G
Challenged your faith
Dsus2
and closed your eyes driving cars
C/DBb
For all that they knew you were safe home
C/G
But you went through hell
whenever you were left alone
FC
But you could see where I had been
Dsus2
in the pictures that they took
FC
I tried to look positive at things,
Dsus2
Faced myself but didn't look
BbC
That was not honest
DmC/E
I was not healthy
BbC/GDsus2
I am not honest, honest.
Dsus2C/DBb
I wish you could see yourself through my eyes
C/GDsus2
There's no need to cling to unnecessary lies
C/DBb
The voice in your head whose spirit you stole
C/GF
left you for dead but you dug the hole
(F) C
And I can tell where you have been
Dsus2
from the marks around your wrists
FC
The red water washed around your sins
Dsus2
but are you as pure as this?
BbC
No you are not honest
DmC/E
You are not healthy
BbC/GDsus2
You are not honest, honest
BbC
you are not honest
DmC/E
you are not healthy
BbC/GDsus2
you are not honest, honest
