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
