Honest

If I'm being honest, I'm still missing you.

E♭ major~162 BPM4/43:04Country Hearthigh confidence
Capo 1 — play the shapes in D and it sounds in E♭ major. Much easier than fingering E♭ major straight.
Play Honest

Verse 1

Yeah I've been saying I'm alright
Sleeping fine most every night
Telling folks I'm doing good
Like I knew I always would
I laugh it off, I play it cool
Act like I got nothing to lose
But that's just what I tell 'em all
When they ask how I've been

Pre-Chorus

I can keep it together
Long as I don't say it out loud

Chorus

If I'm being honest
I ain't over you
Still hear your name in everything I do
Yeah I say I'm fine
But that ain't the truth
If I'm being honest
I'm still missing you

Verse 2

Got your picture face down on the shelf
Like that's gonna help me help myself
But every now and then I slip
And turn it back again
Tried going out, tried moving on
But it don't take long till something's wrong
'Cause every road I take somehow
Leads me back to then

Pre-Chorus

Yeah I've gotten real good
At pretending I'm okay

Chorus

If I'm being honest
I ain't over you
Still hear your name in everything I do
Yeah I say I'm fine
But that ain't the truth
If I'm being honest
I'm still missing you

Bridge

I don't say it out loud
I don't let it show
But the truth is something
I can't let go

Final Chorus

If I'm being honest
I ain't over you
Still feel your touch in everything I do
Yeah I play it strong
Like I always do
But if I'm being honest
I'm still missing you

Outro

Yeah if I'm being honest...
I still do

Generated from the chord chart. These are real guitar shapes for the chords we detected, not a transcription of what was played on the record.
Raw note map (experimental)

This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
