• Capo on 1st

Intro
Em     Am
Mmmm   Mmmm

Em Am Em Am Em Am Em Am

Verse
                     Em    Am
It seemed the better way
                       Em    Am
When first I heard him speak
                      Em    Am
But now it's much too late
                  Em    Am
To turn the other cheek

Chorus
                 Em    Am
Sounded like the truth
                  Em    Am
Seemed the better way
                 Em    Am
Sounded like the truth
                         Em    Am
But it's not the truth today

Verse
                Em    Am
I wonder what it was
                 Em    Am
I wonder what it meant
                    Em     Am
At first he touched on love
                       Em    Am
But then he touched on death

Chorus
                 Em    Am
Sounded like the truth
                  Em    Am
Seemed the better way
                 Em    Am
Sounded like the truth
                         Em    Am
But it's not the truth today

Verse
                 Em    Am
I better hold my tongue
                 Em    Am
I better take my place
                   Em    Am
Lift this glass of blood
               Em    Am
Try to say the grace

Instrumental

But now it's much too late

But it's not the truth today
