Intro.:  |(G) |(C) | x 4

(G) I just missed (C/G) my exit, (G) last night I (C/G)lost my keys
(G) I'm fumblin' (C/G)over the words I (G) don't feel a (C/G)bit like me these (Em)days (D)

(G) I would be (C) a liar (G) if I said (C)I was fine
(G) But I can't (C)help being honest (G) and I know (C)now is not the (Em)time (D)

(Chorus)
'Cause, (C) the truth is I'm (G)fallin' to pieces (D) anytime that (Em)you're around
(C) Trouble is the (G)truth keeps slippin' (D)out, woah
(C) Can't seem to (G)hide what I'm feelin', (D) can't believe what I'm (Em)sayin' out loud
(C) Truth is there's (G)no turnin' back (D)now
I (C)guess I shoulda learned how to lie --- a little better

Solo:  |(G) |(C) | x 2

(G) Been trying (C/G) to cover, (G) this heart out (C/G)on my sleeve
(G) Been set on (C/G)playin' this down, but (G) I think your (C/G)catchin' on to (Em)me (D)

(Chorus)
'Cause, (C) the truth is I'm (G)fallin' to pieces (D) anytime that (Em)you're around
(C) Trouble is the (G)truth keeps slippin' (D)out, woah
(C) Can't seem to (G)hide what I'm feelin', (D) can't believe what I'm (Em)sayin' out loud
(C) Truth is there's (G)no turnin' back (D)now
Well, I (C)guess I shoulda learned how to lie a little better

(Bridge)
(Em) I'm losin' (C) this battle (G) with every word I say
(Em) Wish I had (C) a better lesson (Em) of not givin' my-(D)self away

(Chorus)
'Cause, (C) the truth is I'm (G)fallin' to pieces (D) anytime that (Em)you're around
(C) Trouble is the (G)truth keeps slippin' (D)out
(C) Can't seem to (G)hide what I'm feelin', (D) can't believe what I'm (Em)sayin' out loud
