Give It To Me Straight
Billy Currington
- 4/4 time
- hold the Bm for a full measure (4 counts)
- hold the A and E for half a measure each (2 counts each)
- The whole song is the same 3-chord, 2-measure progression on repeat
- No capo

Intro: There really is no intro to this song, the volume just crescendos right into the verse on the Bm.
But if there was an intro I’d say playing the progression twice through (Bm, A, E, Bm, A, E) would be
realistic.
Verse 1
BmWell if I had a dollar Afor every time you Elet me down,
BmStood me up, gave me the run around AI’d still Espend it all on you
BmWe used to get so dressed up, Ajust to get Eso messed up
BmChillin in the back of the club all night like we’re Aall alone
But Ethat girl’s gone so
Chorus
BmGive it to me straight babe I can take it
AIf there’s another guy Ejust tell me, why
BmYou’ve been runnin lately
Every single Aday, every single Enight
Bm A, E
Give it to me straight babe
*in that whisper-like voice*
What you’ve been doin and who you’ve been with
Is there something to it or are you just friends with him (Straight babe)
I aint mad at ya, I’m just askin, just askin
Verse 2
BmWell tell me what you’re thinkin, Ajust tell me anyEthing at all
BmSay a word or say it all, AI gotta Ehear it straight from you
BmWe used to get so caught up, Agetting spent and Emakin love
BmThe kind of love where we both end up on the bAedroom floor
But it aEint no more so
BmGive it to me straight babe I can take it
AIf there’s another guy Ejust tell me, why
BmYou’ve been runnin lately
Every single Aday, every single Enight
Bm A, E
Give it to me straight babe
*in that whisper-like voice*
What you’ve been doin and who you’ve been with
Is there something to it or are you just friends with him
I aint mad at ya, I’m just askin, just askin
(Yeaaahh oooOhhhh)
