Truth I Tell Myself

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

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

        G       D                 
There's no connection between what
   Bm         Em D  C            
 I want and what is good for me.
Bm A G Em

     D              Em       
The truth I tell myself not to 
     C
believe

  G                          
Yeah I know I could have been 
 D
somethin'
        Em           Bm        
but I'm not and I know that it's 
            C
somebody else's fault
              G                    
Just like every other thing that's 
      D
ever happened to me

        G                       D 
Yeah I could have been like the 
         Em       D        C
king like someone who could really 
sing
Em                              C
Folks would line up round the 
                               D
corner just so they could come n' 
hear me

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

        G       D                 
There's no connection between what

The truth I tell myself not to 
     C
believe
        G       D                 
There's no direction between where
   Bm      Em    D    C         
 I am and where I'm supposed to 
    Bm A G Em
be
     D              Em

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

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