[Intro]
Em     Am
Mmmm   Mmmm

Em Am Em Am Em Am Em Am

[Verse]
                     Em    Am
It seemed the better way
                       Em    Am
When first I heard him speak
                      Em    Am
But now it's much too late
                  Em    Am
To turn the other cheek

[Chorus]
                 Em    Am
Sounded like the truth
                  Em    Am
Seemed the better way
                 Em    Am
Sounded like the truth
                         Em    Am
But it's not the truth today

[Verse]
                Em    Am
I wonder what it was
                 Em    Am
I wonder what it meant
                    Em     Am
At first he touched on love
                       Em    Am
But then he touched on death

[Chorus]
                 Em    Am
Sounded like the truth
                  Em    Am
Seemed the better way
                 Em    Am
Sounded like the truth
                         Em    Am
But it's not the truth today

[Verse]
                 Em    Am
I better hold my tongue
                 Em    Am
I better take my place
                   Em    Am
Lift this glass of blood
               Em    Am
Try to say the grace

[instrumental]
Em Am Em Am Em Am Em Am

[Verse]
                     Em    Am
It seemed the better way
                       Em    Am
When first I heard him speak
                      Em    Am
But now it's much too late
                  Em    Am
To turn the other cheek

[Chorus]
                 Em    Am
Sounded like the truth
                  Em    Am
Seemed the better way
                 Em    Am
Sounded like the truth
                         Em    Am
But it's not the truth today

[Verse] (Only the bass for the two first sentences)
                 Em    Am
I better hold my tongue
                 Em    Am
I better take my place
                   Em    Am
Lift this glass of blood
               Em    Am
Try to say the grace

[instrumental]
Em Am Em Am Em Am Em Am
Em Am Em Am Em Am Em Am

[Outro]
