Intro: Am  E (6x) 

Am                              E 
The truth is in the dirt on the ground 
Am                              E 
The truth is in the dirt on the ground 
F                                 E 
not in your gilded cage with your rusted spoon 
F                                   E 
when the ground splits open it will swallow you 

Am                              E 
The truth is in the dirt on the ground 
Am                              E 
The truth is in the dirt on the ground 
            F                     E 
not in your poison tongue or your acid tears 
        F                  E 
let the truth howl in your ears 

F         G                 Am 
Here she comes it's killing time 
F            G        E 
flames are burning behind her eyes 
F          G                Am 
here she comes it's killing time 
F            G       E 
flames are burning behind her eyes 

Am   E (2x) 
Am                              E 
The truth is in the dirt on the ground 
Am                              E 
The truth is in the dirt on the ground 
            F                         E 
Not in your claws drawn-out scratch 'til it bleeds 
F                        E 
knocked down dead gets what she needs 
Am                              E 
The truth is in the dirt on the ground 
Am                              E 
The truth is in the dirt on the ground 
           F                       E 
not on a blazing horse from the midnight sun 
     F                           E 
the fire will turn your bones to dust 
F         G                 Am 
Here she comes it's killing time 
F            G        E 
flames are burning behind her eyes 
F          G                Am 
here she comes it's killing time 
F            G       E 
flames are burning behind her eyes

Am                              E 
The truth is in the dirt on the ground 
Am                              E 
The truth is in the dirt on the ground 
             F                    E 
not in your gilded cage with your rusted spoon 
          F                          E 
when the ground splits open it will swallow you
