capo 3rd
intro : Am C
C Am
i wish i had more nice things to say
Em F
but i was raised not to lie
C Am
i’m either honest , or i’m an optimist
Em F
but never both at the same time
G Am
and everyone knows the deal
F C
gotta take what you can
Em Am
’cause anything i don’t steal
C G
just winds up in someone else’s hands
C Am
there’s only so much good a man can take
Em F
when he ain’t so good himself
C Am
you remind me of what i could’ve been
Em F
but that reminder ain’t much help
Dm F C
so it’s better if you were on your way
Dm Am
if you were somewhere far from me
Dm F C
so you could dream i turned out well
F G
and i . . . i could just go to sleep
( C Am Em F Am Em F G ) x2 over the “ooo – oo – oo”s
C Am
i wish i had more nice things to say
Em F
but i was raised not to lie
C Am
i’m either honest , or i’m an optimist
Em F
but never both at the same time
