Capo 5th Fret


Intro:

C  C/B  Am  Dm  F  C


Verse 1:

C           C/B             Am    F                               C  G
  I haven’t told myself the truth  since the first night you were gone
C             C/B                Am        Dm              F            C
  I’d like to think I was living easy, and love was mostly living all alone
C                C/B                Am    F                                  C  G
  Maybe it’s the wind blowing us together, maybe it’s the world blowing me away
C                C/B               Am     Dm              F                C
  Maybe the tall trees bow down before us pleading for a lonely heart to stay

        Chorus:

        F                                     C
        Truth be told, the odds are stacked against us
        E7                               Am
        Truth be told, they often always are
        F                                C               C/B
        Unless you really care about me, don’t go up the stairs without
            Am               E7                Am     G       F
        The boy that let you drive him in your mama’s beat up car
            G                                   C
        And don’t forget the one that lives too far


Break:

C  C/B  Am  Dm  F  C



Verse 2:

C                  C/B             Am      F                            C  G
  Some folks make something out of nothing, some people have to cry too long
C              C/B             Am     Dm                F               C
  While others wait beside the window wondering why the wind would blow so strong
      C               C/B             Am    F                              C  G
  Now I’ll admit I’m feeling cold and naked, just like I’m standing in the rain
C              C/B              Am           Dm           F               C
  With nothing left out here to hide behind, and I wonder if you feel the same


        Chorus:

        F                                     C
        Truth be told, the odds are stacked against us
        E7                               Am
        Truth be told, they often always are
        F                                C               C/B
        Unless you really care about me, don’t go up the stairs without
            Am               E7                Am     G       F
        The boy that let you drive him in your mama’s beat up car
            G                                   C
