Tell him the truth Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
If you've ever kept [Em]a secret
from the one you love
This is what it feels like

[Verse 2]
If you thought that I was [Em]perfect
Boy, you were wrong
[Bm]I'm far from t[D]hat
There's one thing that
I've done to [Em]you[C]
That I regret and
Look, I [Em]know it's no excuse,
but I'm only [D]human[Bm]
And young at that
[D]And I'm gonna make
mis[Em]takes[C]
And hope you understand

[Verse 3]
Didn't [C]see it [Em]comin'
Wasn't on purpose
[D]Baby, I [Bm]promise I didn't mean to hurt you
Will you for[D]give me?
You didn't deserve this
[Em]I know[C] it wasn't worth it

[Verse 4]
Gotta tell [C]him the [Em]truth
(when I'm ready to)
Tell him [D]the [Bm]truth (somehow)
Gotta tell [D]him the truth
(that's what I gotta do)
Tell him [Em]the t[C]ruth (but not now)
Gotta tell him the [Em]truth
(just wait a little bit)
Tell him [D]the truth[Bm]
(he couldn't handle it)
Tell [D]him the truth (that's what
I gotta do)
Tell him [Em]the t[C]ruth (but not now,
ooh)
[Em]Didn't see when I had tears

[Verse 5]
[Em]
rolling down my [D]face[Bm]
I turned [D]my back
It was heavy on the [Em]tongue
[C](And I knew that you knew
something was wrong)
I [Em]was about to break open,
spill out [Bm]everything
But something said
"Keri, [D]wait, things are going great,
what you gon[Em]na s[C]ay?"
"I don't know,
maybe something like"

[Verse 6]
Didn't [C]see it [Em]comin'
Wasn't on purpose
[D]Baby, [Bm]I promise I
didn't mean to hurt you
Will you for[D]give me?
You didn't deserve this
[Em]I know[C] it wasn't worth it

[Verse 7]
Gotta tell him [C]the [Em]truth
(when I'm ready to)
Tell him [D]the truth [Bm](somehow)
Gotta tell him the [D]truth
(that's what I gotta [Bm]do)
Tell him [Em]the t[C]ruth (but not now)
Gotta tell him the [Em]truth
(just wait a little bit)
Tell him [Bm]the truth
(he couldn't handle it)
Tell him the [D]truth (that's what
I gotta do)
Tell him [Em]the t[C]ruth (but not now, ooh)

[Verse 8]
[C]I feel [Em]less (than nothin')
Lower [D](than zero)
And [Bm]tired (of frontin)
Gotta tell him the truth
I feel [D]less (than nothin')
[Em]Lower (than zero)
And [C]I'm tired (of frontin)
Gotta tell him the truth
Guess I've been [Em]waitin' for
the stars to align
There's no per[D]fect [Bm]time
I gotta tell him the truth
'Cause [D]it's hard to build
the truth on a lie
And [Em]if that's [C]what I want
I gotta tell him the [Em]truth

[Verse 9]
Gotta tell him [Em]the truth
(when I'm ready to)
[D]Tell [Bm]him the truth (somehow)
Gotta tell him [D]the truth
(that's what I gotta do)
Tell him [Em]the t[C]ruth (but not now)
Gotta tell him the [Em]truth,
truth (just wait a little bit)
Oh, tell [D]him the [Bm]truth
(he couldn't handle it)
Tell him [D]the truth (that's what
[Em]I go[C]tta do)
I gotta (but not now, ooh)

[Verse 10]
[C]Baby, [Em]I'm cryin'
[D]I'm[Bm], I'm cryin'
[D]Oh[Em][C]
Gotta tell him the truth
[Em](that's what I gotta do)
(I know [D]what I [Bm]gotta do)
(Gotta tell him the truth)
I'm so [D]scared (I know
what I gotta do)
And I'm sittin' [Em]here all [C]alone
(Gotta tell him the truth) and
I want to tell you
[Em]Oh, what do I do? (What do I do?)
