Truth I Tell Myself

• G

Capo 2nd

G				    D
You don't have to tell me that I'm stubborn
	   Em		Bm			C	  G			D
'cause I'm not and I know 'cause it runs in my family and skips every other generation
     G			   D	  Em	   D 		C
You don't have to save my soul or make me feel like I'm in control.
	  Em			 C			    D
It's not worth the double scotch whiskey that you'd have to buy me. 

    Em		D     G		   G         D	    C
You look like you're surprised. Like when will I get wise
    Em		D/F#	  G	    D		C	 D 
But I'll just drive the same dead ends I've tried and I think I know why 

	G	D		     Bm		Em D  C		   Bm A G Em
There's no connection between what I want and what is good for me.
     D		    Em		  C
The truth I tell myself not to believe 

Guitar Break - G D Em Bm C G D

  G                           D
Yeah I know I could have been somethin'
        Em           Bm                    C 
but I'm not and I know that it's somebody else's fault
              G                          D 
Just like every other thing that's ever happened to me
        G                       D          Em       D        C
Yeah I could have been like the king like someone who could really sing
Em 				C				D               
Folks would line up round the corner just so they could come n' hear me 

   Em	   D    G	   G     D	    C
Oh There I go again. Them devils love their sin
 Em             D/F#	 G    D	    C		 D 
Well they can't end what I do not begin. So I'm safe where I'm in. 

	G	D		     Bm		Em D  C		   Bm A G Em
There's no connection between what I want and what is good for me.
     D		    Em		  C
The truth I tell myself not to believe 
        G       D                    Bm      Em    D    C             Bm A G Em
There's no direction between where I am and where I'm supposed to be
     D		    Em		  C
The truth I tell myself not to believe 

Guitar Break - G D Em Bm C G D
	       G D Em D C Em C D

G                              D
Don't think that I'm expecting you to stay 
	    Em          Bm                        C
'Cause you won't and I know 'cause I've seen it a million times
 	G			  D
It's this charming self-destructive disposition of mine
          G                       D
Yeah and all those happy endings are for fools 
    Em        D          C
Who feel like they will never loose 
Em			   C                          D
Folks, who think there's a God out there that's gonna save them 

     Em	       D       G	   G           D     C
I'll get this round my friend. And then we can start again 
     Em      D/F#      G      D	     C	          D 
Just like we did when we were who we are. Have we come that far? 


Chorus
	G	D		     Bm		Em D  C		   Bm A G Em
There's no connection between what I want and what is good for me.
     D		    Em		  C
The truth I tell myself not to believe 
        G       D                    Bm      Em    D   C	     Bm A G Em
There's no direction between where I am and where I'm supposed to be
     D		    Em		  C
The truth I tell myself not to believe
