D#      Fm                 Cm
It's 5 a.m. and I'm on the radio
A#              D#
I'm supposed to call you, but
Fm                   Cm        A#
I don't know what to say at all
D#               Fm                    Cm
And there's this girl, she wants me to take her home
A#               D#           Fm
She don't really love me though
                Cm    A#
I'm just on the radio

G#                A#                Cm     A#
And I'm not gonna tell you that I'm over it
G#                      A#                  Cm
'Cause I think about it every night I'm not sober, and
         A#         G#          A#
I know I keep these feelings to myself
       Cm
Like I don't need nobody else
A#         G#           A#        Cm
But you're not the only one on my mind

Chorus:
        A#    G#   A# Cm
If I'm being honest
        A#    G#   A# Cm
If I'm being honest
                  A#  G#   A# Cm
You said I should be honest
        A#    G#   A# Cm
So I'm being honest

It's 6 a.m., I'm so far away from you
I don't wanna let you down, what am I supposed to do?
It's been three weeks at least, now, since I've been gone
And I don't even like the road, I'm just on the radio

And I'm not gonna tell you that I'm over it
'Cause I think about it every night I'm not sober, and
I know I keep these feelings to myself
Like I don't need nobody else
But you're not the only one on my mind

Chorus

G#    A#         Cm
Woah, woah, woah
            A#
Woah, woah, woah
G#    A#         Cm
Woah, woah, woah
            A#
Woah, woah, woah
G#    A#         Cm
Woah, woah, woah
            A#
Woah, woah, woah
G#    A#         Cm
Woah, woah, woah
            A#
Woah, woah, woah

And I'm not gonna tell you that I'm over it
'Cause I think about it every night I'm not sober, and
I know I keep these feelings to myself
Like I don't need nobody else
But you're not the only one on my mind

Chorus

(If I'm being honest...)
