Truth Aint Gonna Save Us

verse 1 

                 Am 
The sun's laid to rest 
                   F 
The moon's hanging proud in the night 
C                                                   D 
I now that face I once bathed in the depths of those eyes 
G              Am 
I stand in our doorway 
             F 
Try to kill time 
    C                                                        D 
But there's nothing left han to wade through the trouble in mind 
G          D 
We need to talk it out 
                    G 
Not dance round the truth 


Chorus 

     F    C   F         G 
What once was love will break us 
     Am                               F 
With nothing left but shadows in thrust 
F                         C      F     G 
Don't you know  The Truth ain'nt gonna save us 
G                  Am 
But it will set us free (setting us free) 
Am             C 
I'm setting us free (setting us free) 


verse 2 

D             Am 
Lightning in summer 
              F 
All fire by design 
     G         C                           D 
Transcended inferno  Tattoos of lovers entwined 
                 Am 
But time she was waiting 
               F 
To cut us both down 
       C 
It was all too much for this wilted flower 
        D 
And we watched the beauty drown 
D 
Oh we're out of control 
                      G 
And zthe truth won't make us whole 


Chorus 

     F                  G 
What once was love will break us 
     Am                               F 
With nothing left but shadows in the dust 
                   F            C       G 
Don't you know The Truth ain'nt gonna save us 
                   Am                 C 
But it will set us free (setting us free) 
               C 
I'm setting us free (setting us free)

With nothing left but shadows in the dust

You know it ain't gonna save us 
                   C     D 
But I'm setting us free 
              Am 
It ain't gonna save us 
                   C 
But I'm setting us free now 
D            D          Am 
Setting us, setting us free
