_ [F] I've been living with a lie _
[Em] so [F] long now, baby. _ _
_ I gotta set myself free.
[Em] I can't [F] take it no more, no. _ _
That's why I gotta sing and shout it, tell [Em] the world [F] about it.
The truth is sweet, yeah.
Sing and shout it, tell [Em] the world [Dm] about it.
The truth is sweet.
[Am] I've made up my mind to prove myself.
I've tried to let nobody else [Bm] have any say on the way I live my life.
[Am] I didn't see it or need a compromise, but now I've come to [D] realize that living is [Bm] more than just [D] surviving.
[C] And I've been [F] lying to myself. _
I [D] gotta come up with what I feel.

The [Gm] truth is _ _ _ _ [F] sweet.

[C] You [Gm] _ _ know _ [Am] _
[Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ you want it [G] to be true.
[Am] _ _ _ You say it, don't but you [G] know you do.
[Am] _ _ _ You've been disguised [G] in what you feel.
[Am] You might be living in a fantasy, or in a [G] fantasy, but [F] you're not [C] too real.
