D 
        Everybody said I'd leave you 
 
G                   Dm              Em 
        They gave us six months to a year 
A 
        Said our love would just fall pray to 
G                                   A 
        The jukebox, women and the beer 
 
D 
        They wanna get those rumours flyin' 
G                        Dm            Em 
        They're watchin' for a rendez-vous 
G                  A               D 
        But if they ever say I'm cheatin' 
                   G 
        They'll be lyin' 
A                                   D 
        The truth is lyin' next to you 
 
(chorus) 
 
D       A 
Thruth is 
D                               G 
        I'm gonna be here for a long long time 
A                                 G           D 
        I'll stay forever or 'til you say goodbye 
D                                  G 
        Don't need a neon moon to make my night shine 
Em                                  A 
        And if you need some lovin' proof 
G 
        Just reach out 
A                                  D 
        The truth is lyin' next to you 
 
 
        Over phone lines and back fences 
        We're the talk of this whole town 
        They just shake their heads in wonder 
        They can't believe I'm still around 
 
        They can search the backstreet barrooms 
        To see if I'm with someone new 
        But if they ever say they saw me 
        They'll be lyin' 
        The thruth is lyin' next to you 
 
(repeat chorus twice) 
 
Notes on Song:  Chords should be fingerpicked.  The pattern changes,  
but the main ones used (Randy Travis uses this a lot in his songs) 
Goes like this: 
 
 
----------0---------               ----------0--------- 
--------2---2-------               --------2------2---- 
------2-------2-----    OR         ------2--------2-2-- 
----2-----------2---               ----2--------2------ 
--0-----------------               --0----------------- 
--------------------               -------------------- 
 
I prefer the second, but I think the first is used more often in this song
