B           F#             G#m              F#    E      F#  
 Lie number one: You're supposed to have it all together  
               B              F#  
 And when they ask how you're doing  
      G#m                F#      E       F#  
 Just smile and tell them "Never better"  
B           F#        G#m            F#        E          F#  
 Lie number two: Everybody's life is perfect except yours  
              B               F#              G#m  
 So keep your messes and your wounds and your secrets safe  
      F#          E           F#  
 With you behind closed doors 
 

Pre-Chorus
 
E             F#        G#m             E  
 But truth be told, the truth is rarely told 
 

 
            B               F#            G#m            F#  
I say, "I'm fine, yeah, I'm fine, oh, I'm fine, hey, I'm fine"  
    E              F#  
But I'm not, I'm broken  
              B         F#              G#m        F#  
And when it's out of control I say it's under control  
    E                F#  
But it's not and You know it  
  E                                F#  
I don't know why it's so hard to admit it  
           G#m           F#          E  
When being honest is the only way to fix it  
           B           F#  
There's no failure, no fall  
           G#m           F#      E  
There's no sin You don't already know  
           F#       B    F#   G#m   F#   E   F#  
So let the truth be told 
 


Verse 2:
 
           B           F#  
 There's a sign on the door, says,  
  G#m         F#         E         F#  
 "Come as you are" but I doubt it  
              B                    F#  
 'Cause if we lived like that was true,  
       G#m            F#           E       F#  
 Every Sunday morning pew would be crowded  
B           F#      G#m  
 But didn't You say church should look  
 F#          E         F#  
 More like a hospital?  
        B             F#        G#m            F#  
 A safe place for the sick, the sinner and the scarred,  
         E              F#  
 And the prodigals like me 
 


Pre-Chorus
 
E             F#        G#m             E  
 But truth be told, the truth is rarely told  
             F#  
 Oh am I the only one who says: 
 


  
     B               F#            G#m            F#  
"I'm fine, yeah, I'm fine, oh, I'm fine, hey, I'm fine"  
    E              F#  
But I'm not, I'm broken  
              B         F#              G#m        F#  
And when it's out of control I say it's under control  
    E                F#  
But it's not and You know it  
  E                                F#  
I don't know why it's so hard to admit it  
           G#m           F#          E  
When being honest is the only way to fix it  
           B           F#  
There's no failure, no fall  
           G#m           F#      E  
There's no sin You don't already know  
           F#       E  
So let the truth be told 
 


Bridge:
 
             F#            G#m  
Can I really stand here unashamed  
                  B                 E  
Knowing that Your love for me won't change  
           F#  
Oh God, if that's really true  
     B   F#  G#m   F# E    F#  
Then let the truth be told
