Intro Am ( with pull offs and hammer ons on the D string)
C                       Am
I wish I had more nice things to say,
Em                        Fmaj7    G
but I was raised not to lie.
C                           Am
I'm either honest or I'm an optimist,
Em                         Fmaj7
but never both at the same time.
G                      Am
And everyone knows the deal,
Fmaj7                 C
gotta take what you can.
Em                      Am
'cause anything I don't steal,
     Fmaj7                      G
just winds up in someone else's hands.

C                           Am
There's only so much good a man can take,
Em                       Fmaj7    G
when he ain't so good himself.
C                       Am
You remind me of what I could have been,
Em                           Fmaj7
but that reminder ain't much help.
Dm                         Am      C
So it's better if you were on your way
   Dm                          Am    E7
if you were somewhere far from me.
Dm                 Am         C
So you can dream I turned out well,
    Fmaj7               G
and I, I can just go to sleep.
