Chorus:

C                           G

And the rest will fall in place

Tell the truth to yourself
F                         G      G7
And the rest will fall in place

Verse 1:

C C/B Am  G           F       Fm
I         lied to the doctor
C C/B Am  G          F      Fm
I         lied to my lover


Pre-Chorus:

C       C/B  Am          G          F       Fm
I wanna make amends, but where do I start?


Chorus:

C                 G
Tell the truth to yourself (Tell the truth)
F                         G
And the rest will fall in place (To your)
C                 G
Tell the truth to yourself (Tell the truth)
F                         G     G7
And the rest will fall in place


Bridge:

Dm   G
Ah, ah
C  C/B Am
Ah,    ah
Dm   G
Ah, ah
Em  F
Ah, ah
F    G   C     C/B  Am
Tell the truth to   yourself
Dm   G   Em  F
Tell the truth


Interlude:

Dm             G          C          C/B        Am
I can make my mother, my father, my sister, my brother
             Dm                  G
My lover, my neighbor, my friends all happy
Em                               F
Give of myself whatever they ask
                              Dm
But without this single truth
                            G
It is only emptiness that I cast
  C                             C/B  Am
A happiness that will not last
                          Dm
But I'm not here for that
                             G
For what does happiness help
                          Em                F
Without this simple truth given to thyself?


Verse 2:

C C/B Am  G       F       Fm
I         was the coward
C C/B Am      G              F      Fm
How      they strangled your heart


Pre-Chorus:

C       C/B  Am          G          F       Fm
I wanna make amends, but where do I start?


Chorus:

C                           G
Tell the truth to yourself
        F                 G
And the rest will fall in place
C                           G
Tell the truth to yourself
        F                 G
And the rest will fall in place
C                           G
Tell the truth to yourself (Tell the truth)
        F                 G
And the rest will fall in place (To your)
C                           G
Tell the truth to yourself (Tell the truth)
        F                 G      G7
And the rest will fall in place
