Here's some rudimentary chords for an underrated track from an underrated album.

 D MajorD                         G+G
I lied to you I've cheated too so what friend can I be?
   A augmentedA	                              D MajorD
But still you stick through thick & thin hoping that you'll change me.

I towed the line then fell behind our love began to wane
The pressure grew & then I knew that things were not the same.

Chorus

 A augmentedA  F# minorF#m   	G+G       D MajorD 	   A augmentedA
The truth is the toughest thing to explain
 A augmentedA  F# minorF#m   	G+G       D MajorD 	   A augmentedA
The truth, playing tricks with me again
     G+G      	  D MajorD
When the truth has to be told
   F#F#   	   B minorBm  Bm/ABm/A
My Blood runs hot & Cold
   G+G    A augmentedA      	G+G D MajorD E minorEm
FF G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
The truth, is not my middle name

(I'm pretty sure that the chord flourish on 'name' is accurate to the track, but I think
it's better just sticking with D MajorD if playing on your own)

Verse 2 - same chords

You threw a rope attached with hope way down into the sea
Where Lovers swim so deeply in the tides of mystery
For what it's worth I don't deserve A augmentedA girl as strong as you
You're worth much more than me I'm sure accept this as the truth

Chorus 2 - same chords

The truth, it's the toughest thing to explain
The truth, playing tricks with me again
Well the truth has to be told
My Blood runs hot & Cold
The truth, is not my middle name

(Again, here's the chords for the solo starting on 'name') G+G D MajorD
E minorEm FF G+G FF G+G FF G+G FF
G+G D MajorD


When the truth has to be told
My Blood runs hot & cold
