INTRO: Em G  D

VERSE: 

                    D 
If I could tell the truth
                  Em
People just might see
             G
Who I really am
                  A
Not who I have to be
G      A       D  
 I get so damn tired
                  Em
Of playing by the rules
                   G     A
Afraid of what I'd lose
                    D
If I could tell the truth


CHORUS:

D      A        G
Nobody wants to listen
                      D
When it comes down to this
                             Em           G 
They'd rather take the truth and twist it
                        A
Than to tell it like it is
D            A          G    A   
I don't know how we got here
                  Bm  A  G  
There's really no excuse
               Em  
I do it to get by
D                        G   A
But I wouldn't live this lie
                    D       
If I could tell the truth

BREAK Em  G  D


VERSE:
                    D  
If I could tell the truth
                      Em
Girl we'd end up in a fight
                     G 
And I would still be wrong
                       A
And you would still be right
G         A          D  
 We could stay right here
            Em
Another year or two
                G      A
But I'm already gone
                    D
If I could tell the truth


CHORUS:

D      A        G
Nobody wants to listen
                      D
When it comes down to this
                             Em           G 
They'd rather take the truth and twist it
                        A
Than to tell it like it is
D            A          G    A   
I don't know how we got here
                  Bm  A  G  
There's really no excuse
               Em  
I do it to get by
D                        G   A
But I wouldn't live this lie
                    D      A-D   
If I could tell the truth


TAG:
                 Em
I'd do it to get by
D                        G   A
But I wouldn't live this lie
                    D        Em  G  D D 
If I could tell the truth
