Honest Wage

         Em                         C
When you called, it was loud, I got angry
                     G     D
I was everything but sober
       Em                               C
I said things that were ruthless, and I meant 'em
                        G    D
But you told me to come over
                Am
You say he's in town, and you're crying
           G                          Bm7
And you're throwing him one hell of a party
          Am
So I hang up and start shaking
         G                       Bm7
Thinking you never threw one for me

[Chorus]
              G                         Em
I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth
              C                            D
Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage
                  G                           Em
You're not always fair to me, like I wish you would be
                 C                          D
He's the one who left home, I'm the one who stayed

[Verse]
     Em                            C
So I drove when I shouldn’t, but I make it
              G     D
I'm feeling alright
         Em                        C
You walk out, I'm a mess, you look perfect
              G     D
I figured you might
             Am
Next thing I know, I'm exploding
    G                          Bm7
And everything feels awful and wrong
         Am
And he's there right beside you
        G                   Bm7
But the music inside is our song

[Chorus]
              G                         Em
I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth
              C                            D
Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage
                  G                           Em
You're not always fair to me, like I wish you would be
                 C                          D
He's the one who left home, I'm the one who stayed


[Repeat chorus a few times]


              G                              Em
I just get so angry when you say you love us both
                C                              D    G
I wanna be more like him, I wanna know there's hope
