Truth Be Told chords by Tossing Copper

Capo 3, Standard Tuning

[Intro]
G Em G Em

[Verse 1]
G                    Em
There’s nothing good within me
       G
If I’m honest
G           Em               G
And If I’m honest, there are times
G      Em
I will try
G                  Em
To dress up all my darkness
            G                Em
And make it seem like it was light
    C
All along
But it’s a lie

[Verse 2]
G                     Em
If truth be told, I’m nothing
      G
On my own
G                Em
The only thing I know for sure
                G    Em
Is that I don’t know a thing
      C
To be sure

[Verse 3]
G           Em
If you only knew
               C
What I’ve been prone to do
      D                  G
You’d run far and fast away

From me, Oh God
Em
Hear my plea
            C
Cause all I see
        D
Is this darkness that is buried
       G
Within me

[Verse 4]
   G                  Em
So darling don’t dare trust me
     G       Em
If I say I'm ok
   G                Em
If truth be told, I do the things
       G
That I hate everyday
C
Anyway

[Verse 5]
G             Em
If ever I may think
          C              D
Myself to be more than a wretched man
    G                        Em
Forgive me, and please don't let me
     C                            D
Ruin myself once again with these chains
              G
That I cannot sever
        Em                        C
I'll do whatever it takes just to make sure
              D
My head stays above
     C
This water that is filling my lungs

[Interlude]
Am Em G Em
G Em C D x4

[Verse 6]
   G
If only I could do
           G
The good I want to do
                     Em
I'd leave this place forever
            C
And I would never
          D                             G
Turn back around just to fight this old war
            C
Because I'm broken and I'm begging
