INTRO: Em G D
VERSE:
If I could tell the [D]truth
People just might [Em]see
Who I really [G]am
Not who I have to [A]be
[G] I get [A]so damn [D]tired
Of playing by the [Em]rules
Afraid of what I'd [G]lose[A]
If I could tell the [D]truth
CHORUS:
[D]Nobody [A]wants to [G]listen
When it comes down to [D]this
They'd rather take the truth [Em]and twist it[G]
Than to tell it like it [A]is
[D]I don't know [A]how we got [G]here[A]
There's really no [Bm]excu[A]se[G]
I do it to get [Em]by
[D]But I wouldn't live this [G]lie[A]
If I could tell the [D]truth
BREAK Em G D
VERSE:
If I could tell the [D]truth
Girl we'd end up in a [Em]fight
And I would still be [G]wrong
And you would still be [A]right
[G] We could [A]stay right [D]here
Another year[Em] or two
But I'm already [G]gone[A]
If I could tell the [D]truth

There's really no [Bm]excu[A]se[G]
I do it to get [Em]by
[D]But I wouldn't live this [G]lie[A]
If I could tell the [D]truth[A-D]
