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