Truth Be Told

	  		 


Intro: G Em G Em 

verse 1 
G                    Em 
There’s nothing good within me 
       G 
If I’m honest 
G           Em               G 
And If I’m honest, there are times 
G      Em 
I will try 
G                  Em 
To dress up all my darkness 
            G                Em 
And make it seem like it was light 
    C 
All along 
But it’s a lie 

verse 2 
G                     Em 
If truth be told, I’m nothing 
      G 
On my own 
G                Em 
The only thing I know for sure 
                G    Em 
Is that I don’t know a thing 
      C 
To be sure 

verse 3 
G           Em 
If you only knew 
               C              
What I’ve been prone to do 
      D                  G 
You’d run far and fast away 

From me, Oh God 
Em 
Hear my plea 
            C 
Cause all I see 
        D 
Is this darkness that is buried 
       G 
Within me 

verse 4 
   G                  Em 
So darling don’t dare trust me 
     G       Em 
If I say I'm ok 
   G                Em 
If truth be told, I do the things 
       G 
That I hate everyday 
C 
Anyway 

Verse 5 
G             Em 
If ever I may think 
          C              D 
Myself to be more than a wretched man 
    G                        Em 
Forgive me, and please don't let me 
     C                            D      
Ruin myself once again with these chains 
              G 
That I cannot sever 
        Em                        C 
I'll do whatever it takes just to make sure 
              D 
My head stays above 
     C  
This water that is filling my lungs

Verse 6 
   G 
If only I could do 
           G 
The good I want to do 
                     Em      
I'd leave this place forever 
            C 
And I would never 
          D                             G 
Turn back around just to fight this old war 
            C 
Because I'm broken and I'm begging
