INTRO: G C G D

G C G

Scratched a heart on your door then I showed myself outside

G C G

Lashed my soul 'cross this twin-v horse and rode off in the night

C Em C D

Guess you noticed I'm gone and the old mornin' sun's castin' shadows with questions inside

G C G D

So the truth in this letter at dawn will shed a new light

CHORUS:

G

Truth is, I lied when I said I'd always be your whippin' pet

Em

I lied when I said I didn't mind the hurt I guess

C D C

When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive (I lied)

G

Truth is, last night when you tore my heart apart my mind began

Em

Never thinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again

C D C

And the freedom that filled me kept spellin' out truth as I'd write

G C G D

Truth is I lied....

G C G

Saw an image of you where the highway touched the sky

G C G

It was blockin' my view so I steered that thought aside

C Em C D

Now the mornin' and me ride a cold memory past tomorrow to some other town

G C G D

Where we'll never care whether this truth was lost or found

CHORUS:

G

Truth is, I lied when I said I'd always be your whippin' pet

Em

I lied when I said I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess

C D C

When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive (I lied)

G

Truth is, last night when you tore my heart apart my mind began

Em

Never thinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again

C D C

And the freedom that filled me kept spellin' out truth as I'd write

G C Em C D

Truth is I lied...

G C Em C D G

Truth is I lied...
