[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Outside [G]today a little boy cried
Cuz the [C]bully took his bike
out for [G]a spin
cnd down the street he went til he's out
the line of sight
[C]Where he stopped to break
them back tires [G]in
Two rusty nails and an
appetite for bad
He took re[C]venge upon
them two shiny [G]wheels
Cuz its one thing he had was
[F#m]making people [D]sad
cnd he [C]knew that's how the
little boy would feel
[G]

[Verse 2]
[A]cnd it tasted like a [C]flavor you thought
you [G]knew[C][G]
[A]cnd the truth might be just
a [C]little too sour for

[Verse 3]
[G]You, [B]you don't, you can[C]'t,
you won't, [G]you will
From [C]the house up on [G]the hill
Where time [A]begs the truth
[C]to tell
cnd the clocks demand that
time will run the [G]show
[D]cnd truth has found that there's
[Am]nowhere else to go
But [C]hide among the shadows of the lies,
[Em]the [C]lies

[Verse 4]
Inside [G]today a fine young
woman cried
Because her [C]husband won't be
coming home [G]again
cnd across them battle lines he took a bullet
in the chest that claimed his life
[C]cndcolonel fear had to take some time
and make some [G]truth up for his wife
Cuz she just [D]needed a little
something now to hold [G]on to
For the [D]only truth she ever
knew just died
[G]

[Verse 5]
[A]cnd it tasted like a [C]flavor
she thought she knew
[A]cnd the truth might be just
a [C]little too sour for

[Verse 6]
[G]You, [Bm]you don't, you can[C]'t,
you won't, [G]you will
From [C]the house up on [G]the hill
Where time [A]begs the truth
[C]to tell
cnd the clocks demand that
time will run the [G]show
[D]cnd truth has found that there
[Am]ain't nowhere to go
But [C]hide among the shadows of the [G]lies,
the lies
We [Em]told

[Verse 7]
You [G]told, [C]you[G] to[Em]ld,[G][Am]
You [Em]told, [G]you[C] to[G]ld,[Em]
[G]cll the [Am]lies, all the lies,

[A]lie[C]s.

[C][G][D][Am]

[Verse 8]
(Chorus) [C]It
[G]ain't so black [B]and white
Between the [C]truth now and [G]our lies
So lets find another place [B]to go
cnd take the [C]blinds up off our [G]eyes
cnd it's a myth we're living [B]in
Cuz there ain't [C]no wrong [G]or right
[B]cll you know is what you see
Let's [C]hope that you're not blind
To the truth . . .
