The Truth

G                      C
Tell 'em all I'm on vacation
G                      C
Say I went to visit friends
G                        C
That you ain't heard or seen from me
 in quite a while
G                            C
When they ask you where I've been
D                       Em       
Tell 'em I'm out on the west 
                         D
coast where it don't ever rain
                            C
And that I'm probably doin' fine

[Chorus]
C                             G  
Just don't tell 'em I've gone 
      D
crazy
C                          G     D
I'm still strung out over you
C                      Em        
Tell 'em anything you want to, 
           D                C
just don't tell 'em all the truth
                      Am           
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth

G                         C
Tell 'em all I'm out in Vegas
G                             C
Blowin' every dollar I ever made
G                         C
Tell 'em that I must be into 
something bad for me, 'cause
G                      C
I sure lost a lot of weight
D                        Em      
Tell 'em I'm out on the road with
                             D
 some old rock and roll band
                      C
livin' like a gypsy can

[Chorus]
C                             G  
Just don't tell 'em I've gone 
      D
crazy
C                          G     D
I'm still strung out over you
C                      Em        
Tell 'em anything you want to, 
           D                C
just don't tell 'em all the truth
                      Am           
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth
  D


[Bridge]
      C                            
The truth is that I'm askin' you to
  G                D              
 lie, and we both know that it 
    C
ain't right
C                    Em          
If you ever loved me please, have
        D       C
 some mercy on me
