INTRO: G C G D
Scratched a [G]heart on your door then I [C]showed myself out[G]side
Lashed my [G]soul 'cross this twin-v [C]horse and rode off in the [G]night
Guess you [C]noticed I'm gone and the [Em]old mornin' sun's castin' [C]shadows with questions [D]inside
So the [G]truth in this letter at [C]dawn will shed a new [G]light[D]
CHORUS:
Truth is, I [G]lied when I said I'd always be your whippin' pet
I [Em]lied when I said I didn't mind the hurt I guess
When I [C]pleaded and stated I needed you just to s[D]urvive (I lie[C]d)
Truth is, last [G]night when you tore my heart apart my mind began
Never t[Em]hinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again
And the [C]freedom that filled me kept spellin' out truth as I'd [D]write[C]
Truth is I [G]lied.[C]...[G][D]
Saw an [G]image of you where the [C]highway touched the [G]sky
It was [G]blockin' my view so I s[C]teered that thought a[G]side
Now the [C]mornin' and me ride a [Em]cold memory past [C]tomorrow to some other t[D]own
Where we'll [G]never care whether this t[C]ruth was lost or [G]found[D]
CHORUS:
Truth is, I [G]lied when I said I'd always be your whippin' pet
I [Em]lied when I said I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess
When I p[C]leaded and stated I needed you just to su[D]rvive (I lie[C]d)
Truth is, last [G]night when you tore my heart apart my mind began
Never [Em]thinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again
And the [C]freedom that filled me kept spellin' out truth as I'd [D]write[C]
Truth is I [G]lied.[C]..[Em][C][D]
Truth is I [G]lied.[C]..[Em][C][D][G]
