Chords for Hadestown Original Broadway Cast - If It's True - Lyrics

[A#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A#m] _
_ _ If it's true what they say, [F#] _
_ _ if there's nothing to be done
[Fm]
If _ _ it's true that it's too [F#] late, _ _ and the girl I love is [A#m] gone
If it's true what they say, [F#] _
_ _ is this how the world is?
_ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ To be beaten and [F#] betrayed and then be told that nothing changes
It'll [A#m] always be like this, [G#] if it's true [F#] what they say
_ _ [A#m] _
_ I'll be on my way
_ _ _ And the [F#] boy turned to go, _ [A#m] _ _ [G#] cause he [F#] thought no one could hear
_ [A#m] But [Fm] _ [F#] everybody knows [Fm] that walls have [A#m] ears
And the workers heard him, if it's true what [F#] they say
With their hammer swinging, what's the purpose of [Fm] a man?
And they quit their working, just to turn his [F#] eyes away
But they heard him singing, just to throw a folk [A#m] his hand
No hammer swinging, so he took his [F#] backbone
No kick-out screen, if he ever [C#] stands upright
And they stood and listened, if he burns [F#] his back on everyone
To the poor boy's sin, that he could [A#m] have stood beside
If [G#] it's true what [F#] they say, _
_ _ [A#m] _ _ [G#] I'll be on [F#] my way
_ _ _ [A#m] But who [Fm] are they [F#] to say [Fm] that the truth is [A#m] anyway? _ _
[C#] Cause the ones who tell the lies
[F#] _ _
Are the solemnest to [C#] swear _ _ _
And the ones who load the [F#] dice _ _
[A#m] Always say the toss is fair _ _
And the ones who deal the [F#] cards
_ [C#]
Are the ones who take the tricks
_ [Fm] _
With their hands over their [F#] hearts _ _
[A#m] While we play the game they fix
And _ the ones who speak the [F#] word _ _
Always [C#] say it is the last
_ [Fm] _ _
And no answer [C#] will [F#] be heard _
To the question [C#] no one [A#m] asks
[G#] So I'm asking [F#] if it's true
I'm [A#m] _ _
asking [F#] me and you and [Fm] you [A#m] and you
I believe our answer matters more than anything they say
We stand and listen
_ _ [Fm] I believe if there is still a will, then there is [F#] still a way
We're standing with [A#m] him
I believe there is a way
I believe in us together, more than anyone [C#] alone
We're standing near him
[Fm] _ _ I believe that [C#] with each other, we are stronger [F#] than we know
[A#m] We're near him
I believe we're stronger than they know
I believe that we are many
[C#] I believe that they are few We're standing
_ _ [F] And _ it isn't for the few [C#] to tell the many [F#] what is true
We understand it
[A#m] So I ask you, if it's true what they say Standing
[C#] _ I'll be on my way Standing
[F] _ Tell me what to do
_ [F#] _ Is it true?
_ Is it true what they say? _
_ _ [A#] _ _ _ _ _ _
