Jack Johnson plays this song by tapping, but you can play by chords and it sounds good too. I hope you like and enjoy playing.

Intro: E, A, C#m, F#m (x2) 

E 
If they tell me that the bees 
A 
Don't make honey anymore  
C#m                           F#m 
Then what am I supposed to tell you  
E 
And if they tell me that the ocean  
A 
Is tired of her shores  
C#m 
Then tell me  
                         F#m 
What am I supposed to tell you  
 
                              A 
When I can't tell you anything  
            F#m 
But the truth  

                              A 
When I can't tell you anything  
            F#m 
But the truth  
 
E                                A 
What happens to an eagle's nest in a storm  
C#m 
How does the mama  
             F#m 
Keep the baby warm  
E 
What if the wind  
A 
Is telling us that its time  
C#m                         F#m 
And what if we're not ready to fly  
 
                       A 
I can't tell you anything  
            F#m 
But the truth  
                       A 
I can't tell you anything  
            F#m 
But the truth  
 
E                        A 
Tree tops they touch the ground  
C#m                      F#m 
In the morning walk with no sound  
E                        A 
Hear no birds, hear no planes  
C#m                      F#m   
Through the mud, feel the clay  
E                   A 
Build it up, make it sing  
C#m                  F#m 
Make it strong, give it waves -->(I got this verse by ear, but I think it's okay) 
 
                           A 
But I can't tell you anything  
            F#m 
But the truth  

                           A 
But I can't tell you anything  
            F#m 
But the truth  
 
E 
What is this place  
A 
Who am I  
         C#m          F#m 
Why did we come here  

E 
What is this place  
A 
Who am I  
         C#m          F#m 
Why did we come here  

E                     A 
I don't know I don't know  
    C#m 
But I don't know  
          F#m 
That we're meant to know  

E                     A 
I don't know I don't know  
    C#m 
But I don't know  
          F#m 
That we're meant to know 

Repeat: E, A, C#m, F#m (x2) and then A to finish.
