Intro:

BB F#F# G# minorG#m F#F# E MajorE  F#F#

Verse 1:

BB      F#F#       G# minorG#m       F#F#  E MajorE   F#F#
 Lie number one: You're supposed to have it all together
        BB       F#F#
 And when they ask how you're doing
   G# minorG#m        F#F#   E MajorE    F#F#
 Just smile and tell them "Never better"
BB      F#F#    G# minorG#m      F#F#    E MajorE     F#F#
 Lie number two: Everybody's life is perfect except yours
       BB        F#F#       G# minorG#m
 So keep your messes and your wounds and your secrets safe
   F#F#     E MajorE      F#F#
 With you behind closed doors


Pre-Chorus:

E MajorE       F#F#    G# minorG#m       E MajorE
 But truth be told, the truth is rarely told


Chorus:

      BB        F#F#      G# minorG#m      F#F#
I say, "I'm fine, yeah, I'm fine, oh, I'm fine, hey, I'm fine"
  E MajorE       F#F#
But I'm not, I'm broken
       BB     F#F#       G# minorG#m    F#F#
And when it's out of control I say it's under control
  E MajorE        F#F#
But it's not and You know it
 E MajorE                F#F#
I don't know why it's so hard to admit it
      G# minorG#m      F#F#     E MajorE
When being honest is the only way to fix it
      BB      F#F#
There's no failure, no fall
      G# minorG#m      F#F#   E MajorE
There's no sin You don't already know
      F#F#    BB  F#F#  G# minorG#m  F#F#  E MajorE  F#F#
So let the truth be told

Verse 2:

      BB      F#F#
 There's a sign on the door, says,
 G# minorG#m     F#F#     E MajorE     F#F#
 "Come as you are" but I doubt it
       BB          F#F#
 'Cause if we lived like that was true,
    G# minorG#m      F#F#      E MajorE    F#F#
 Every Sunday morning pew would be crowded
BB      F#F#   G# minorG#m
 But didn't You say church should look
 F#F#     E MajorE     F#F#
 More like a hospital?
    BB       F#F#    G# minorG#m      F#F#
 A augmentedA safe place for the sick, the sinner and the scarred,
     E MajorE       F#F#
 And the prodigals like me


Pre-Chorus:

E MajorE       F#F#    G# minorG#m       E MajorE
 But truth be told, the truth is rarely told
       F#F#
 Oh am I the only one who says:


Chorus:
   BB        F#F#      G# minorG#m      F#F#
"I'm fine, yeah, I'm fine, oh, I'm fine, hey, I'm fine"
  E MajorE       F#F#
But I'm not, I'm broken
       BB     F#F#       G# minorG#m    F#F#
And when it's out of control I say it's under control
  E MajorE        F#F#
But it's not and You know it
 E MajorE                F#F#
I don't know why it's so hard to admit it
      G# minorG#m      F#F#     E MajorE
When being honest is the only way to fix it

Bridge:

       F#F#      G# minorG#m
Can I really stand here unashamed
         BB         E MajorE
Knowing that Your love for me won't change
      F#F#
Oh God, if that's really true
   BB  F#F# G# minorG#m  F#F# E MajorE  F#F#
Then let the truth be told
