The Truth

Tom: Am

E            Am
You're a disease
                       E
I love the way you're smiling
                      Dm
Every breath that I breathe
             Am
It's like I breathe you into me
        Am
I can't escape
            E
You are the drug I need
           Dm
Hopelessly chained
        Am                 G
And I cannot be released
               C
I'm a prisoner here
                     C7
Baby I don't want to leave
                       F
None of this is really real
                      Fm
I know it's all make believe

[Chorus]
                             C
But I don't want to know the truth
                          Am
I'd rather just believe a lie
                       Dm
Tell me this is who we are
                     G
Even if it's just to night
                               C
Don't tell me when the morning comes
                               Am
You can keep the secret if you try
                     Dm
If you ever loved me baby
                                  Fm
Then keep it for the rest of your life
                               Am
Cause I don't want to know the truth

[Verse]
           Am
I take the stage
                       E
But I don't want to be there
                      Dm
When you pulling the strings
           Am
Make them dance, make them sing
                  Am
So long with the show
                      E
Yeah we know how the story ends
                 Dm
The curtain goes up oooh
               Am                     G
I'll take the stage and I'll pretend
                   C
That this ain't my life
                  C7
And this ain't by heart
                   F                Fm
And you're not the one tearing it apart

[Chorus]
                                C
Cause I don't want to know the truth
                          Am
I'd rather just believe a lie
                       Dm
Tell me this is who we are
                     G
Even if it's just to night
                               C
Don't tell me when the morning comes
                               Am
You can keep the secret if you try
                     Dm
If you ever loved me baby
                                  Fm
Then keep it for the rest of your life
                               Am
Cause I don't want to know the truth

[Verse]
               C
Can we make a vow
             C7
We'll never confess
                F
Could never get out
                        Fm
Be better if we let it rest

[Chorus]
                                C
Cause I don't want to know the truth
                          Am
I'd rather just believe a lie
                       Dm
Tell me this is who we are
                     G
Even if it's just to night
                               C
Don't tell me when the morning comes
                               Am
You can keep the secret if you try
                     Dm
If you ever loved me baby
                                  Fm
Then keep it for the rest of your life
                               Am
Cause I don't want to know the truth
