[Verse 1]
CDumbfounded, downtrodden and dejected
D/F#Crestfallen, grief-stricken and exhausted
GTrapped in my room while the house was burning
AmTo the motherfucking ground D
CI saw the sign but it was misleading
D/F#I fought the law, but the law was cheating
GScreaming for help, but somebody keeps on
AmTelling me to settle down D
[Chorus]
FPlease be Ghonest, Ftell me Gwas it Cyou?
[Verse 2]
CClerk at the midwestern service station
D/F#Striped uniform, giggling at catch phrases
GLook in her eyes we're Eup to something
AmOh, it doesn't matter now D
CMan in a crossover with his family
D/F#Sketched in decals on the window smiling
GDriving parallel in the Elane beside me
AmOh, it doesn't matter now D
[Chorus]
FBut please be Ghonest, Ftell me Gwas it Cyou?
FI won't Ghate you, FI just Gneed to Dknow
FPlease be Ghonest, Ftell me Gwas it Cyou?
[Bridge]
FAt first he thought it was the undertow
DBut he was dragged to the bottom of the lake
FBy a couple of kids saying, "it's a joke"
DThough he didn't know any of their names
FAs they held him down, the crowd got loud
DAnd they cheered when they thought he had escaped
FWhen the anchor needed something for the 10 o'clock
DWhat could they say? Oh what else could they say?
GThey said "Well, you promised us the stars, Cand now we're tired and bored"
G"Well, you promised us the stars, and now weC're tired and bored"
G"Well, you promised us the stars, and now weC're tired and bored"
G"Well, you promised us the stars"
CAnd now we're tired and bored and tired and bored
Fand tired and bored and tired and bored
Cand tired and bored and tired and bored
Fand tired and bored and tired and bored
Cand tired and bored and tired and bored
Fand tired and bored and tired and bored
Cand tired and bored and tired and bored
Fand tired and bored and tired and bored
