The Truth Is I Lied
Gene Watson

Capo 2nd. Fret

Intro: D-G-D-Bm-A-D
D                      G             D
I said it was over, I said we were through
               Bm          Em          G
I said when I left, I was done loving you
          D                      G          D 
But I'm fighting a feelin' that can't be denied
                  Bm            A          D
So forget what I told you, the truth is I lied

D                                    G        D
I know you weren't expectin', this visit from me
                    Bm         Em          A 
With my hat in my hand and my heart on my sleeve
        D                              G           D
I've stopped my pretendin' and I've swallowed my pride
                Bm           A          D
I came here to tell ya, the truth is I lied

D     G                         D
The truth is I'm just not, as strong as I thought 
       Bm                        A               D  
This battle is harder, than any war that we've fought
   G                             D     Bm
I said I could just push, your memory aside
       D            Bm               A          D     
And I meant when I said it, but the truth is I lied

        C        G          D            
Is it asking to much to, forget and forgive
  C        Bm           A
Dying for your love, is no way to live
          G                         D
And the truth is I'm just not, as strong as I thought
      Bm                        A              
This battle is harder than any war that we've fought
    G                            D     Bm
I said I could just push, your memory aside
       D                Bm               A          D
And I meant it, when I said it, but the truth is I lied

                       Bm                A         D
Oh, I meant it when I said it, but the truth is I lied
