        G 
Oh, the trouble with the truth is  
    D                      C 
It's always the same old thing 
   G 
So hard to forget  
     D                    C 
So impossible for me to change 


      Am                     Am-G- 
Every time I try to fight it 
  F 
I know I'll be left to blame 
        G 
Oh, the trouble with the truth is

It's always the same old thing 


N.C.    G 
And the trouble with the truth is 
    D                    C 
It's just what I need to hear 
  G 
A-ringing so right 
     D              C 
Deep down inside my ear 


         Am                 
And it's everything I want 
    G    F 
And it's everything I fear 
        G 
Oh, the trouble with the truth is  
    D                    C 
It's just what I need to hear 


Bridge: 
         F                       C              F 
Yeah, it ruined the taste of the sweetest lies 
                      C      ~ Am 
Burned through my best alibis 
               G       F 
Every sin that I deny 

Keeps hanging 'round my door 
        G 
Oh, the trouble with the truth is  
  D                 C 
It always begs for more

And the trouble with the truth is

It just won't let me rest 
  G 
I run and hide 
            D              C 
But there's always another test 


      Am                           Am-G- 
And I know that it won't let me be 
          F 
'Til I've given it my best 
    G 
The trouble with the truth is  
  D                   C 
It just won't let me rest
