I lied to you, I cheated too, so what friend can I [G] be?
[A] Still you stick through thick and thin, hoping that you'll change [D] me.
I told the line, then fell behind, our love began to [G] wane.
[A] Passion grew, and then I knew that things were not [D] the same.
[A] [G#] The truth, it's [G] the toughest thing to [D]
explain.
[A]
The [G#m]
[E] truth, [G] playing tricks with me [D] again.

When [G] the truth has to [D] be told, [F#] my blood runs hot [Bm] and cold.
[G] The truth is [A] not my middle [G] name.
[D]
[Em] [F]
[Em] [A] [D]
You threw a rope attached with hope way down into the [G] sea.
[A]
I've never swam so deeply in the tides of [D] mystery.
What it's worth, I don't deserve a girl as strong as [G] you.
[A] You're worth much more than me, I'm sure, except this [D] isn't true.
[A] The [G#m] truth, it's [G] the toughest thing to [D] explain.
