DmLet's get it straight, let's get it straight from the Ctop
You're beginning with your usual main inGgredient
You're good at talking, when you say it are you Ammeaning it?
I don't wanna give you my heart if you're not coDmmpleting it
I'm blown away at how your family, your frCiends just accept it though
No one's ever told you "no", Gcan't expect you to know how to love
When it was somAmething you were never taught
FBut honestGy is the oAmne true way to start again
FJust be goGod to yourself and Amlove goes unspoken instead of always broken
FBut, honesGtly when your Amheart decides to let someone in
FJust be caGutious of the next oneAm  
DmYou win, I never wanted to play wChat was mean to screw me up
But I see you're into plGaying it
Makes me feel sorry for the way you like dispAmlaying it
Now the truth is really told, you are betraDmying it
I gotta say I don't think I Cever felt you hold us up
Were you embGarrassed by me?
Ohhh... it's something IAm'm gonna have to pay for
FBut honestGy should have been the Amone true way to start again
FJust be stGraight with yourself and Amlove goes unspoken instead of always broken
FBut, honesGtly if your heAmart decides to feel again
FJust be caGreful with the next onAme
  F    G   Am(x4)
FHow completely Glet down
AmHow completely let down I've been
FHow completely in aGwe
When I can see it aAmll, now I can see it all

FJust be stGraight with yourself and Amlove goes unspoken instead of always broken
FBut, honesGtly if heart dAmecides to love again
FJust be thGankful for the next onAme (Thankful, Thankful, Thankful)

Dm C

Let's get it straight, let's get it straight from the top

You're beginning with your usual main ingredient

You're good at talking, when you say it are you meaning it?

I don't wanna give you my heart if you're not completing it

I'm blown away at how your family, your friends just accept it though

No one's ever told you "no", can't expect you to know how to love

When it was something you were never taught

F G Am

But honesty is the one true way to start again

F G Am

Just be good to yourself and love goes unspoken instead of always broken

F G Am

But, honestly when your heart decides to let someone in

F G Am

Just be cautious of the next one

Dm C

You win, I never wanted to play what was mean to screw me up

But I see you're into playing it

Makes me feel sorry for the way you like displaying it

Now the truth is 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?

Ohhh... it's something I'm gonna have to pay for

F G Am

But honesty should have been the one true way to start again

F G Am

Just be straight with yourself and love goes unspoken instead of always broken

F G Am

But, honestly if your heart decides to feel again

F G Am

Just be careful with the next one

F G Am

(x4)

F G

How completely let down

How completely let down I've been

F G

How completely in awe

When I can see it all, now I can see it all

F G Am

But honesty could have been the one true way to love again

F G Am

Just be straight with yourself and love goes unspoken instead of always broken

F G Am

But, honestly if heart decides to love again

F G Am

Just be thankful for the next one (Thankful, Thankful, Thankful)

F G

I'm gonna see it all, I'm gonna see it all- I can't wait, I can't wait

I'm gonna keep it up, I'm gonna keep it up- I can't wait, I can't wait

F G

I'm gonna see it all, I'm gonna see it all- I can't wait, I can't wait

I'm gonna keep it up, I'm gonna keep it up- I can't wait, I can't wait

I'm gonna keep it up, I'm gonna keep it up

G Am

I'm gonna keep it up, I'm gonna keep it up - Yeah, yeah, yeah
