[Intro]
Bb F C F Bb F C

[Verse 1]
F
I’m a puzzle
Bb F
I’m a walking contradiction
Bb F
In far from mint condition
C F
‘Cause there’s pieces I can’t find
F
Sometimes trouble
Bb F
A can of cope, a day addiction
Bb F
With set in stone convictions
C F
And a no bend bottom line

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C Bb
I’m an easy read but I ain’t no open book
Dm C Bb
Got a knack for making things harder than they look

[Chorus]
Bb
I’m a straight shootin’
F C
Beer drinkin’, rule breakin’
F Bb F C
Don’t think I won’t take a good thing too far
Bb F
I’m a midnightin’, backslidin’
C F
Getaway car drivin’
Bb F C
Runnin’ away with your heart
Dm C Bb
I guess, be careful what you wish for, is all I meant when I said
Bb
What you see is what you get

[Verse 2]
Bb F C F
F
At least I’m honest
Bb F
I don’t spin it like a record
Bb F
And I ain’t acting like I’m better
C F
Than you know I really am
F
Yeah, you’re dead on it
Bb F
You got me figured, I’ll admit it
Bb F
Set in my ways hard-headed
C F
But hell, I do the best I can

[Bridge]
C Bb
With me ain’t no tricks up these sleeves
Dm C Bb
An acquired taste, a constant work in progress

[Outro]
C F Bb F C F

How to play What You See Is What You Get: key, chords and progression

To play What You See Is What You Get by Luke Combs, think in F major (one flat: B♭). It takes 4 chords: Bb, F, C and Dm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Bb – F – C – F (IV – I – V – I in F major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes G, D, A, Bm (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
