B                                G#m
I don't have a filter like this cigarette
 B                                     G#m
Ask me my opinion, that's what you're gonna get
     F#
You know I don't say "dang" when I mean "damn"
      E
With you, I've only ever been who I am

Chorus:
         E                F#              B
I can't lie to you 'cause I can't lie to me
    G#m7             F#               E
So don't ask if you don't want total honesty
            E                  F#
I've been drivin', I've been cryin',
        B                 G#m
But I swear I ain't been drinkin'
     E                    F#               B   E B E
Even I can't believe I'm sayin' what I'm thinkin'

Well, I'm good at hangin' on to what I'm holdin'
But I've never been a fan of sugarcoatin'
You know I won't say "stay" when I mean "bye"
And I hope for your sake you don't ask why

Chorus

    G#m                 F#                   E
To tell the truth, I'm not sure which hurts worse
          G#m                   F#            E
To be the one who hears or the one who says these
words

Chorus

     E                    F#
Even I can't believe I'm sayin'
