Give It To Me Straight chords by Billy Currington

Give It To Me Straight
Billy Currington

- 4/4 time
- hold the Bm for a full measure (4 counts)
- hold the A and E 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) would be
realistic.


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

Chorus
Bm
Give it to me straight babe I can take it
A                      E
If there?s another guy just tell me, why
Bm
You've been runnin lately
             A                 E
Every single day, every single night
               Bm               A, E
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
Bm                                A               E
Well tell me what you're thinkin, just tell me anything at all
Bm                        A       E
Say a word or say it all, I gotta hear it straight from you
Bm                           A                 E
We used to get so caught up, getting spent and makin love
Bm                                            A
The kind of love where we both end up on the bedroom floor
        E
But it aint no more so


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