Blue October - The Honesty

standard tuning
chords used : Dm G Am

verse 1 :
Dm
let’s get it straight
Am
let’s get it straight from the top
G
you’re beginning with the usual main ingredient

you’re good at when you’re talking when you say it
Am
are you meaning it?
Dm
don’t wanna give you my heart if you’re not completing it
Am
i’m blown away at how your family , your friends ,
G
just accept it though , no one’s ever told you no

can’t expect you to know how to love
Am
when it was something you were never taught

chorus : ( leave the 1st string open on the Dm during the chorus )
Dm G Am
but honesty is the one true way to start again
Dm G Am
just be good to yourself and love those unspoken instead of always broken
Dm G Am
but honestly when you’re heart decides to let someone in
Dm G Am
just be cautious of the next one

( just follow this pattern for the rest of the song )
verse 2 :
you win , i never wanted to play what was meant to screw me up
but i see you’re in to playing it makes me feel sorry for the way you like
displaying it

and how the truth has really told you are betraying it
i gotta say , i don’t think i ever felt you hold us up ,
were you embarrassed by me?
now that’s something i’m gonna have to pay for

chorus :
but honestly should have been the one true way to start again
just be straight with yourself and love goes unspoken
instead of always broken
but honestly if your heart decides to feel again
just be careful of the next one

bridge :
how completely let down
how completely let down i felt
i’m completely in awe
now i can’t see at all
now i can see it all

chorus :
but honesty could have been the one true way to love again
just be straight with yourself and love goes unspoken
instead of always broken
but honestly if your heart decides to love again
just be thankful for the next one

outro : ( same as chorus )
gonna see it all . . . gonna see it
can’t wait , can’t wait
gonna keep it up , gonna keep it up
can’t wait , can’t wait
gonna see it all , gonna see it all
can’t wait , can’t wait ,
gonna keep it up

have fun , holler if you have improvements , enjoy .
