This is one of my favourite Police songs but no-one seems to rate it for some reason.
live version on 'Message In a Box - The Complete Recordings' is ace. (for info on 'Message
a Box', Check out my review)

[C#5]Sleep lay behind me like a [A5]broken [D5]ocean
[C#5]Strange waking dreams before my [A5]eyes [D5]unfold
[C#5]You lay there sleeping like an [A5]open [D5]doorway
[C#5]I stepped outside myself and [A5]felt so [D5]cold
[A5]Take a [C#5]look at [A5]my new [C#5]toy
It'll [A5]blow your he[C#5]ad in tw[A5]o, oh bo[C#5]y
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_police/truth_hits_everybody_crd.html )
[C#5]Truth [A5]hit's [D5]everybody, [C#5]truth [A5]hits [D5]everyone
[C#5]Truth [A5]hit's [D5]everybody, [C#5]truth [A5]hits [D5]everyone
[C#5]Truth [A5]hit's [D5]everybody, [C#5]truth [A5]hits [D5]everyone
(Now do the same the rest of the song)
I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in life is death
Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
[A5]Where you [D5]want to be, [A5]won't you [D5]ever see?
[C#5]Truth [A5]hits e[D5]verybody, t[C#5]ruth h[A5]its e[D5]veryone
[C#5]Truth [A5]hits e[D5]verybody, t[C#5]ruth h[A5]its e[D5]veryone
[C#5]Truth [A5]hits e[D5]verybody, t[C#5]ruth h[A5]its e[D5]veryone
[C#5]Truth [A5]hits e[D5]verybody, t[C#5]ruth h[A5]its e[D5]veryone
[C#5]Truth [A5]hits e[D5]verybody, t[C#5]ruth h[A5]its e[D5]veryone
[C#5]Truth [A5]hits e[D5]verybody, t[C#5]ruth h[A5]its e[D5]veryone
[A5]Oh..[B5]....[C5]....[D5]..Now!
