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
