Guitar chords with lyrics

[Intro]

B Db E F# B Ebm

[Verse 1]

B
Washing out cigarettes in the bathroom
     Db
Should probably only give my opinion when I'm asked to
    E          F#                 B                          Ebm
I'm really good at telling the half truth but usually only when I have to
  B
The money doesn't work, the chain doesn't work
  Db
Something broken in my brain, got me praying in the dirt
  E                             F#
Got me stranded in my bed like I'm laying in the hearse
         B                       Ebm
And the grass is always greener when you play on astroturf
     B
Wonder why my generation poppin' pills and poppin' percs
   Db
And got some weed and got some purp and got some bars and got some syurp
              E                               F#
And got some Jordan's on my feet, I went and matched them with my shirt
         B                             Ebm
And I just instagrammed them both to show you that I got them first
     B
Got a Louis duffel bag, I got my girl a purse
          Db
I'm tryna find God through a purchase, I'm not tryna go to church
          E            F#                    B                 Ebm
Amen, satan told me not to serve, I only think about myself, I only think about my work
   B
I only think about my come-up, capitalism
 Db
Look at where we come from, we are what we run from
 E    F#           B          Ebm
We are why we smoke some, so numb, so numb, so numb
🎸

[Chorus]

   B
I'm a tell you what you need to know
     Db
I'm a tell you what you need to hear
     E          F#
Cause the truth would be too much
     B                      Ebm
Yeah the truth would be, yeah the truth would be
   B
I'm a tell you what you need to know
     Db
I'm a tell you what you need to hear
     E          F#
Cause the truth would be too much
     B                      Ebm
Yeah the truth would be, yeah the truth would be

[Verse 2] - Chance The Rapper

B  Db  E  F#  B  Ebm
  B
I cry when she smile with her eyes closed
    Db
I'm already afraid to tight clothes
  E                      F#
I want all her best friends to be white folks
                 B
I scratched out this line so many times, I can't forget it
     Ebm
It's fucked up, I almost say it every time that I edit
    B
I swear rapping make it easy to lie
         Db
But secrets don't make it easy to write
    E                F#
I met the devil in Manhattan, quickly ended discussion
        B              Ebm
I don't need a thing, he warned of repercussions
        B
But I know he come in all forms, that won't be his last visit
    Db
Time is moving fast and I'm running with a pair of scissors
    E               F#
Looking in the mirror like, "Damn that ain't my dad, is it?"
     B                   Ebm
He handed the torch but he ain't hold my hand did it?
         B
I spent a plenty penny on microphones, many midis
  Db
Any of those cities, I put the indie in Windy City
  E
Indian giver, Black father, White liar
    F#
Right next to Yeezy like Mike Myers
          B
Stare at the cue cards, take out the juke parts
                 Ebm
Take out the God references, just leave the cool parts
        B
I remember opening for Ben, wasn't no liquor at the show
            Db
And now the white girls call me nigga at my show
     E
I wish that I could open twice, sit down at the open mic
    F#
Go back to the day before I became famous over night
            B
I wish that I could open twice, sit down at the open mic
 Ebm
Go back to the day before I became famous over night

[Chorus]

   B
I'm a tell you what you need to know
     Db
I'm a tell you what you need to hear
     E          F#
Cause the truth would be too much
     B                      Ebm
Yeah the truth would be, yeah the truth would be
   B
I'm a tell you what you need to know
     Db
I'm a tell you what you need to hear
     E          F#
Cause the truth would be too much
     B                      Ebm
Yeah the truth would be, yeah the truth would be

[Instrumental break]

B  Db  E  F#  B  Ebm

[Outro - Macklemore:]

   B
I'm a tell you what you need to know
     Db
I'm a tell you what you need to hear
     E          F#
Cause the truth would be too much
     B                      Ebm
Yeah the truth would be, yeah the truth would be
   B
I'm a tell you what you need to know
     Db
I'm a tell you what you need to hear
     E          F#
Cause the truth would be too much
     B                      Ebm
