TRUE CONFESSIONS
Gene Simmons

Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Riff 1

Rhy. Fig 2 w/ Riff 1 (2x)
Before you tell me to go, I've got to let you know 
How you're makin' my temperature rise 
I let you use me, you tried to abuse me, you tell me you're not very nice 

Rhy. Fig 3
I'm not your social security, I'm not your star opportunity, yeah 
Oh baby, you can have me absolutely, won't you give me 

Rhy. Fig 4 W/ Rhy. Fig 5
True confessions, true confessions, true confessions 
That's all I'm askin' for, yeah 

Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Riff 1

Rhy. Fig 2 w/ Riff 1 (2x)
I do things to make you crazy inside 
And baby that's one thing you know you can't hide 
You ask me why, what's your confession 
Well baby, the truth is, you're in my possession tonight 

Rhy. Fig 4 w/ Rhy. Fig 5
True confessions, true confessions, true confessions 
That's all I'm askin' for, yeah 

Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Riff 1

Rhy. Fig 3
I'm not your social security, I'm not your star opportunity, yeah 
Oh baby, you can have me absolutely, won't you give me 

Rhy. Fig  6 w/ Rhy. Fig 7
True confessions, true confessions, true confessions 

Choir interlude
