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

        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
