INTRO: G  C  G  D

       G                C           G
Scratched a heart on your door then I showed myself 
outside
     G               C                  G
Lashed my soul 'cross this twin-v horse and rode off in
 the night
     C                Em                C            
Guess you noticed I'm gone and the old mornin' sun's 
  D
castin' shadows with questions inside
    G                  C             G       D
So the truth in this letter at dawn will shed a new 
light


CHORUS:
        G
Truth is, I lied when I said I'd always be your 
whippin' pet
  Em
I lied when I said I didn't mind the hurt I guess
   C                          D       C
When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive 
(I lied)
           G
Truth is, last night when you tore my heart apart my 
mind began
   Em
Never thinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again
     C                                  D     C
And the freedom that filled me kept spellin' out truth 
as I'd write
        G     C  G  D
Truth is I lied....

   G              C            G
Saw an image of you where the highway touched the sky
     G               C             G
It was blockin' my view so I steered that thought aside
    C             Em           C             D
Now the mornin' and me ride a cold memory past tomorrow
 to some other town
      G                 C          G      D
Where we'll never care whether this truth was lost or 
found


CHORUS:
        G
Truth is, I lied when I said I'd always be your 
whippin' pet
  Em
I lied when I said I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess
   C                          D       C
When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive 
(I lied)
           G
Truth is, last night when you tore my heart apart my 
mind began
   Em
Never thinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again
     C                                  D     C
And the freedom that filled me kept spellin' out truth 
as I'd write
        G     C  Em C D
Truth is I lied...

        G     C  Em C D G
Truth is I lied...
