Intro: G - D - F - C - x2 -

Verse:
G              D       F               C
I gave you a hard time, I told you the news
G                D                  F        C
There's no I'm sorry's, cause there ain't no excuse
G                      D   F                  C
The things I've been doing, the things that I say
G             D  F                C
The road to ruin, between you and me

Solo: - G - D - F - C - x2

Verse - same as first -:
My reasons for cheating, I don't know what to say
maybe it's nature, havin' it's way
You know that I love you, but that's easy to say
You'd make me proud of you if you would stay

Am                Em     G               D
I promised you sunshine, I promised you, you'd be all mine - owoho -
Am                  Em     G            G              D          D
instead of the good times, a killer came and took your heart away

Chorus:
           Am                  Em G D
I gave you hard times, baby     
           Am                  Em G D
I told you truth and lies     
           Am                  Em G D
I gave you hard times, baby     
           Am                  Em G D
I told you truth and lies  

Verse - same as first, fingerpicking -:
I was silly believin' my lies could last
'cause sooner or later the rumour would spread
I often wonder how the things would be
If you hadn't found out the truth about that girl and me

Am                   Em     G                  D
Can't promise you sunshine, can't promise you, you'll be all mine - owoho -
Am               Em    G                    G                 D    D
I'll try to be honest, unlike the first time it won't slip my mind

Chorus:
           Am                  Em G D
I gave you hard times, baby     
           Am                  Em G D
I told you truth and lies     
           Am                  Em G D
I gave you hard times, baby     
           Am                  Em G D
I told you truth and lies

I told you truth and lies 

- fingerpick -
Am - Em - G - D

I look out the window, I watch the street kids grow
Life was so easy when I was that old
There were no lies and no things to be told
Just lullabies and time to grow old
