Lyrics with chords:

Dsus2                               Dsus2/Bb 
It must have been hard; staying in line
             Dsus2/G                     Dsus2 
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


F                    C
But you could tell where I had been
Dsus2
by the way I held my gun
F           C             Dsus2
Trying to write anything while being

mocked by an off beat drum

Bb         C
But I was not honest
Dm        C/E
I was not healthy
Bb         C/G       Dsus2
I was not honest, honest.


Dsus2              C/D                  Bb
You did the right thing, covered your scars
                 C/G
Challenged your faith
                              Dsus2
and closed your eyes driving cars
                   C/D                Bb
For all that they knew you were safe home
                      C/G
But you went through hell

whenever you were left alone


F                    C
But you could see where I had been
Dsus2
in the pictures that they took
F                C
I tried to look positive at things,
Dsus2
Faced myself but didn't look
Bb         C
That was not honest
Dm        C/E
I was not healthy
Bb         C/G       Dsus2
I am not honest, honest.

Dsus2            C/D                      Bb
I wish you could see yourself through my eyes
                    C/G                 Dsus2  
There's no need to cling to unnecessary lies
                   C/D                   Bb
The voice in your head whose spirit you stole
              C/G                  F
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
F              C
The red water washed around your sins
Dsus2
but are you as pure as this?

Bb          C
No you are not honest
Dm        C/E
You are not healthy
Bb         C/G       Dsus2
You are not honest, honest


Bb       C
you are not honest
Dm        C/E
you are not healthy
Bb         C/G       Dsus2
you are not honest, honest
