Squeeze - The Truth
Album - Play
Here's some rudimentary chords for an underrated track from an underrated album.
I [D]lied to you I've cheated too so what friend can I b[G]e?
But st[A]ill you stick through thick & thin hoping that you'll change [D]me.
I towed the line then fell behind our love began to wane
The pressure grew & then I knew that things were not the same.
Chorus
Th[A]e tr[F#m]uth is the[G] toughest thin[D]g to explain[A]
Th[A]e tr[F#m]uth, playi[G]ng tricks with[D] me again[A]
When the t[G]ruth has to be to[D]ld
My Bl[F#]ood runs hot & C[Bm]old[Bm/A]
[G] [A] [G] [D] [Em]
[F]Th[G]e [A]tr[D]uth, is not my middle name
(I'm pretty sure that the chord flourish on 'name' is accurate to the track, but I think
it's better just sticking with D if playing on your own)
Verse 2 - same chords
You threw a rope attached with hope way down into the sea
Where Lovers swim so deeply in the tides of mystery
For what it's worth I don't deserve A girl as strong as you
You're worth much more than me I'm sure accept this as the truth
Chorus 2 - same chords
The truth, it's the toughest thing to explain
The truth, playing tricks with me again
Well the truth has to be told
My Blood runs hot & Cold
The truth, is not my middle name
(Again, here's the chords for the solo starting on 'name') G D
[Em] [F] [G] [F] [G] [F] [G] [F]
[G] [D]
When the truth has to be told
My Blood runs hot & cold
The truth is not my middle name x2
