Key: A
Introduction:
C Am
I wish I had more nice things to say,
Em F7M G
but I was raised not to lie.
C Am
I'm either honest or I'm an optimist,
Em F7M
but never both at the same time.
G Am
And everyone knows the deal,
F7M C
gotta take what you can.
Em Am
'cause anything I don't steal,
F7M G
just winds up in someone else's hands.
C Am
There's only so much good a man can take,
Em F7M G
when he ain't so good himself.
C Am
You remind me of what I could have been,
Em F7M
but that reminder ain't much help.
Dm Am C
So it's better if you were on your way
Dm Am E7
if you were somewhere far from me.
Dm Am C
So you can dream I turned out well,
F7M G
and I, I can just go to sleep.
The woo's C, Am, Em, Fmaj7, Am,
C Am
I wish I had more nice things to say,
Em F7M G
but I was raised not to lie.
C Am
I'm either honest or I'm an optimist,
Em F7M
but never both at the same time.
Hope this helped
