C G/B Am
F G C
[verse]
C G/B Am
You call me narrow-minded
F G C
About music and stuff like that
G/B Am
So I called you retarded
F G C
And I'm sorry if I ruined our little chat
Em F
But the thing is that there is some truth in it
D G7
And I was scared that you had found me out
And since we're being honest here
[verse]
C G/B Am
A lot of times I can be narrow-minded
F G C
But I try to make my friends think I'm not
G/B Am
And I've seen those people with those do-rags
F G C
Who will beat me for my money and I'll get shot
Em F
And I'm afraid one day I'll be a nobody
D G7
So I try to be better than all of you
Ooh
[chorus]
C G/B Am
I'm trying to be honest with you
F G C
And I wish that you'd be honest with yourself too
C G/B Am
I'm trying to be honest with you
F G C
And I wish you'd be honest with yourself too
[verse]
G/B Am
I desperately want everyone to like me
F G C
Even though I don't like everyone I know
G/B Am
And I hate those folks that are judgmental
F G C
Though I judge people by music, looks, and clothes
Em F
And the things that people do that I hate the most
D G7
Are the things I hate the most about myself
And since we're being honest here
[verse]
C G/B Am
I struggle with being generous
F G C
And given with a heart that's pure and true
G/B Am
I have no trouble doin' my own thing
F G C
But it's hard while trying to follow Jesus too
Em F
And if my friends really knew the darkness of my heart
D G7
I probably wouldn't have a friend at all
Ooh
[chorus]
C G/B Am
I'm trying to be honest with you
F G C
And I wish that you'd be honest with yourself too
C G/B Am
I'm trying to be honest with you
F G C
And I wish you'd be honest with yourself too
[outro]
G/B Am
I'm sorry for calling you retarded
F G C
I shouldn't even use that word like that
G/B Am
So once again, I'll say I'm very sorry
F G C
And I'd like to take it back
