Verse 1

C      G7                        F                   C
Oh the trouble with the truth is always the same ol' thing
   G7                  F                  C
So hard to forget so impossible for me to change
      Am                       F
Every time I try to fight it I know I'll be left to blame
       G7                        F                   C
Oh the trouble with the truth is always the same ol' thing

And the trouble with the truth is just what I need to hear
G7                    F              C
Ringing so right deep down inside my ear
         Am                         F
And it's everything I want and it's everything I fear
       G7                        F                   C
Oh the trouble with the truth is just what I need to hear

Verse 3

       F                       C
It had ruined the taste of the sweetest lies
F                      C
Burned through my best alibis
Am             G7     F
Every sin that I deny keeps hanging round my door
       G7                           F               C
Oh the trouble with the truth is it always begs for more
           G7                        F
That's the trouble (trouble with the truth)
                 C
Trouble with the truth (that’s the trouble that’s the trouble)
           G7                  F
That’s the trouble (that’s the truth)
                 C
Trouble with the truth (that’s the trouble trouble with the truth)

And the trouble with the truth is it just won't let me rest
  G7                       F              C
I run and hide but there's always another test
      Am                                     F
And I know that it won't let me be till I've given it my best
    G7                           F                 C
The trouble with the truth is it just won't let me rest
