If I’m being honest

G – Em – C – D

G – Em – C – D

⸻

G

Been ridin’ these roads with the music low

Em

Tryna drown out the things I should’ve told you

C

Like how I still see your face in midnight smoke

D

And every lie I told was the one that broke you

G

My buddies say, “Man, you’ll be fine in time”

Em

But they don’t know what’s runnin’ through my mind

C

Ain’t no whiskey strong enough to change

D

The fact I let a good thing slip away

⸻

Em

And I ain’t the kind to fall on my knees

C

But God knows He hears from guys like me

G

When the nights get long and the truth gets loud

D

And the one you love ain’t around

⸻

G

If I’m bein’ honest

Em

Yeah, I ain’t been the same since you walked away

C

I’ve been pretendin’ I’m stronger

D

But the mirror says different every day

G

If I’m bein’ honest

Em

I’d drive to your porch just to say your name

C

But pride’s got a way of buildin’ walls

D

Where love used to stay

Em

And maybe you moved on

C

Maybe that’s my fault all along

G

But baby, the truth hits hardest

D

If I’m bein’ honest

⸻

G

You were right when you said my stubborn heart

Em

Was the reason we kept fallin’ apart

C

Now I’m runnin’ out of roads to hide

D

From all the things I buried deep inside

G

And I still replay that final night

Em

Your tears in the glow of the dashboard light

C

I should’ve said I was scared to lose you

D

But fear makes fools do what fools do

⸻

Em

I ain’t the type to ever look back

C

But here I am wishin’ I could’ve changed that

G

Holdin’ on to things I should’ve said

D

Hangin’ on to what’s left in my head

⸻

G

If I’m bein’ honest

Em

Yeah, I ain’t been the same since you walked away

C

I’ve been pretendin’ I’m stronger

D

But the mirror says different every day

G

If I’m bein’ honest

Em

I’d drive to your porch just to say your name

C

But pride’s got a way of buildin’ walls

D

Where love used to stay

Em

And maybe you moved on

C

Maybe that’s my fault all along

G

But baby, the truth hits hardest

D

If I’m bein’ honest

⸻

Em

If you ever hear this song somehow

C

And wonder if I’m different now

G

Girl, I swear I’d lay it on the line

D

Give you every bit of me this time

⸻

G

If I’m bein’ honest

Em

Yeah, you’re still the reason I ain’t the same

C

And I’d break every wall down

D

If you said my name

G

If I’m bein’ honest

Em

I’d beg for another chance today

C

But if all I got left is this song

D

Then I’ll let it play

Em

Some loves don’t fade

C

Even when you watch ’em walk away

G

And baby, I still want us

D

If I’m bein’ honest

G – Em – C – D (Outro)
