Give It To Me Straight
Billy Currington

- 4/4 time
- hold the B minorBm for a full measure (4 counts)
- hold the A augmentedA and E MajorE for half a measure each (2 counts each)
- The whole song is the same 3-chord, 2-measure progression on repeat
- No capo

Intro: There really is no intro to this song, the volume just crescendos right into the verse on the Bm.
But if there was an intro I?d say playing the progression twice through (Bm, A, E, Bm, A, E MajorE) would be
realistic.


Verse 1
B minorBm           A augmentedA         E MajorE
Well if I had a dollar for every time you let me down,
B minorBm                 A augmentedA     E MajorE
Stood me up, gave me the run around I?d still spend it all on you
B minorBm              A augmentedA      E MajorE
We used to get so dressed up, just to get so messed up
B minorBm                          A augmentedA
Chillin in the back of the club all night like we?re all alone
  E MajorE
But that girl?s gone so

Chorus
B minorBm
Give it to me straight babe I can take it
A augmentedA           E MajorE
If there?s another guy just tell me, why
B minorBm
You?ve been runnin lately
       A augmentedA         E MajorE
Every single day, every single night
        B minorBm        A, E MajorE
Give it to me straight babe


*in that whisper-like voice*
What you?ve been doin and who you?ve been with
Is there something to it or are you just friends with him (Straight babe)
I aint mad at ya, I?m just askin, just askin


Verse 2
B minorBm                A augmentedA        E MajorE
Well tell me what you?re thinkin, just tell me anything at all
B minorBm            A augmentedA    E MajorE
Say a word or say it all, I gotta hear it straight from you
B minorBm              A augmentedA         E MajorE
We used to get so caught up, getting spent and makin love
B minorBm                      A augmentedA
The kind of love where we both end up on the bedroom floor
    E MajorE
But it aint no more so

B minorBm
Give it to me straight babe I can take it
A augmentedA           E MajorE
If there?s another guy just tell me, why
B minorBm
You?ve been runnin lately
       A augmentedA         E MajorE
Every single day, every single night
        B minorBm        A, E MajorE
Give it to me straight babe


*in that whisper-like voice*
What you?ve been doin and who you?ve been with
Is there something to it or are you just friends with him
I aint mad at ya, I?m just askin, just askin

(Yeaaahh oooOhhhh)
