Lyrics with chords:
D2 D2
It must have been hard; staying in line
D2 D2
knowing your influences did it all the time
D2
It must have been strange; living in blue
D2
and see me shut down as though
it was an easy thing to do
F C
But you could tell where I had been
D2
by the way I held my gun
F C D2
Trying to write anything while being
mocked by an off beat drum
Bb C
But I was not honest
Dm C
I was not healthy
Bb C D2
I was not honest, honest.
D2
C Bb
You did the right thing, covered your scars
C
Challenged your faith
D2
and closed your eyes driving cars
C Bb
For all that they knew you were safe home
C
But you went through hell
whenever you were left alone
F C
But you could see where I had been
D2
in the pictures that they took
F C
I tried to look positive at things,
D2
Faced myself but didn't look
Bb C
That was not honest
Dm C
I was not healthy
Bb C D2
I am not honest, honest.
D2
C Bb
I wish you could see yourself through my eyes
C D2
There's no need to cling to unnecessary lies
C Bb
The voice in your head whose spirit you stole
C F
left you for dead but you dug the hole
(
F )
C
And I can tell where you have been
D2
from the marks around your wrists
F C
The red water washed around your sins
D2
but are you as pure as this?
Bb C
No you are not honest
Dm C
You are not healthy
Bb C D2
You are not honest, honest
Bb C
you are not honest
Dm C
you are not healthy
Bb C D2
you are not honest, honest
