Intro: Fm

Jase:
C            Ab
The truth is
C                    Fm
The truth is hard to explain
        C
Because the truth is
Ab            C               Fm
The truth can shift and change
C
The truth is
    Ab       C            Fm
The truth is all about you
    C                 Ab     E9
And your honest point of view

Ab
And what’s true for you
C               Fm      E9
Doesn’t have to be true forever
Ab      C                     Fm
And sometimes the truth isn’t always
        E9
For the better
     Ab                C
It’s something that we aspire to
   Fm                         E9
Or maybe, that’s something we say

Judith:
Fm                      C
Until it gets in the way
                        Ab                C      Fm
And you’re just putting words on a feeling

Jase:
Fm        C                      Ab
I’m not talking about cold, hard facts
     C                             Fm
Like science, the alphabet, or math

Judith:
        C                     Ab
But the truth you use to keep track
           C
Of who you are and why you act
            Fm
The way you act

Both:
Fm              C
But the truth is
          Ab
The truth doesn’t exist in
          C
Black and white
    Fm                 C
And sometimes two sides
                 Ab   E9
Can both be right

Judith:
    Fm       C        Ab   E9
The truth is that you will never really know

Both:
    Fm
The truth

Jase:
   C        Ab   E9
Is that you will only think you know

Both:
Ab
And what’s true for you
C               Fm      E9
Doesn’t have to be true forever
Ab      C                     Fm
And sometimes the truth isn’t always
        E9
For the better
     Ab                C
It’s something that we aspire to
   Fm                         E9
Or maybe, that’s something we say

Jase:
Fm
Until it gets in the way

Judith:
Fm
Until it gets in the way

Both:
    Fm       C        Ab   E9
The truth is that you will never really know
    Fm       C        Ab   E9
The truth is that you will only think you know

    Fm       C        Ab   E9
The truth is that you will never really know (I hear you now)
    Fm       C        Ab   E9
The truth is that you will only think you know (I hear you now)

    Fm       C        Ab   E9
The truth is that you will never really know (I hear you now)
    Fm       C        Ab   E9
The truth is that you will only think you know (I hear you now)

    Fm        C
The truth can change
    Ab
