The Cold Hard Truth

	  		(verse 1) 
                      E 
You don't know who I am,   
                   A 
I know all about you, 
A                          B7  
I've come to talk to you tonight,  
                                E A E 
About the things I've seen you do 
E                 
I've come to set the record straight,   
                                 A 
I've come to shine the light on you, 
A                  B7 
Let me introduce myself,  
                   E 
I'm the cold hard truth, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
There's a woman we both know, 
I think you know the one I mean, 
She gave her heart and soul to you,  
You gave her only broken dreams, 
You say you're not the one to blame,   
For all the heartache she's been through, 
I say you're nothing but a liar,   
And I'm the cold hard truth, 

E7                             A 
All your life that's how it's been,   
                       E 
Looking out for number one, 
E                     B     
Taking more than you give,   
                        E   A - E 
Movin' on when you're done, 
E                           A    
With her you could have it all,   
                     E 
A family enough to last, 
E                       B7    
If you had any sense at all,   
                              E   A - E 
You'd go and beg her to come back,

F                              
You think that you're a real man,  
                          Bb   F 
But you're nothing but a fool, 
Bb                         C7                           
The way you run away from love,  
                            F   Bb - F  
The way you try to play it cool, 
 
 
 
(verse 4) 
                             F     
I'm gonna say this just one time,   
                       Bb 
Time is running out on you, 
Bb                        C7     
You best remember me my friend,   
                    F 
I'm the cold hard truth, 
F                         C        
You best remember my my friend,    
                     F  
I am the cold hard truth,
