K. Kristofferson (intro verse written by Carter/Warren)
You [D]wouldn't read my [D7]letter if I [G]wrote you
You [A]asked me not to call you on the [D]phone[A]
But there's [D]somethin' I [D7]wanted to [G]tell you
So I [A]wrote it in the words of this [D]song
Well I [D]guess you know,[G] you took me by sur[D]prise[G-D]
When you [A]told me that you'd [G]broken all the [D]rules[G-D]
And the [D]future felt as [G]empty as your [D]eyes[G-D]
When I [A]realized how far I was from [D]you[G-D][D7]
CHORUS:
But they [G]tell me that the truth will set you [D]free
[A] [G] [D] [D7]
And it [G]led me to a side of you that [D]I'd refused to [G]see
So I [D]guess it's been a [A]blessing in dis[G]guise
BREAK: D A G
So there's nothing left to keep us holding on now
To the mystery we used to be before
What we ever shared together there is gone now
And what might have been don't matter anymore
CHORUS:
But they tell me that the truth will set you free
And it led me to a side of you that I'd refused to see
So I guess it's been a blessing in disguise
