Truth Be Told chords by John Moreland

Intro:

Em   Dm   C   Am    (x2)



Verse 1:
Em                    Dm
January eyes fixed on iridescent lies
C                   Am
Truth be told, it's no surprise
     Em                          Dm                 Am
The saints came self-appointed, said they were anointed
    G                      F
And time is just a faded sign
     Em                              Dm
The world was always ending, it was good in the beginning
    C                Am
But I don't know how far this goes
         Em                           Dm              Am
Saw you standin' in a pose, wearin' someone else's clothes
G                 F           C   F   Em   Dm
I don't know how far this goes

Verse 2:
    G                Am
Committing sabotage, out in the garage
Em                          F
Turn it up and let it go, chase that old mirage
        G                       Am
At the end of our rope, or some other tired trope
Em                      F
Raised in the glow of a television show

Chorus:
C                           Am                      C/E
 But you don't owe me anything
I don't owe you anything
                      F
No, it don't mean a thing
G                      Am
I don't owe you anything, you don't owe me anything
C/E                   F
 No, it don't mean a thing

Verse 3:
C/E                          Dm
I guess you can't see
I'm sweepin' up debris
C                       Am
All for your miserable cause
C/E                                Dm
Left to my devices, payin' heavy prices
C/E        F
Empty as I ever was

Interlude:
G   C   Am   C/E   F

G   Am   C/E   F


Chorus:
C                           Am                      C/E
 But you don't owe me anything
I don't owe you anything
                      F
No, it don't mean a thing
G                      Am
I don't owe you anything, you don't owe me anything
C/E                   F
 No, it don't mean a thing

Interlude:
G   C   Am   C/E   F

G   Am   C/E   F
