The Truth Teclado

	  

 


     G                   Em 
Well I've been trying to re-learn my name 
   D            G 
It seems like a thousand years 
     Em                         D      
I've been out of frame and I surrender 
    G 
The truth is what 
          Em     
What I've needed from you 
D         G                    Em       
I've been floating within your walls of opinion 
D       G 
And I'm tired - I only want the truth 


C                           
 (I have tried so hard not to be like them 
G                                 G/B 
 I have found they don't ever say what they mean) 
C                             Em   G 
 There is a truth, there is a light 
Am                 G      
If you'd follow me there 
C 
 (I've been searching for the directions and 
G                                     G/B 
 I'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needs) 
C                        Em      G 
 There is a hope for the hopeless 
Am                G 
I can promise you that 

           G 
Yeah, well I've been accosted 
The jury's been partial 
    G 
But I won't surrender 
                        G 
To prove to you I won't lie 
                        Em 
Under pressure of compromise 
D             G                       
Yeah, well an absolute measure 
Won't change with opinion 
   Em                      
No matter how hard you try 
          D       G 
It's an immovable thing 
                               Em            
Just like the visions in your bed 
                           D      C 
Or when they're streaming in your head 


C                           
 (I have tried so hard not to be like them 
G                                 G/B 
 I have found they don't ever say what they mean) 
C                             Em   G 
 There is a truth, there is a light 
Am                 G      
If you'd follow me there 
C 
 (I've been searching for the directions and 
G                                     G/B           C 
 I'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needs) 
           Em   G      
There is a hope 
Am            G 
And I'll come back 

          C 
If you're leading my hand 
The world is so broken 
    G 
I'm tripping my steps 
                 G/B    C 
I'm slipping and I know why 
                              Em  G-Am 
I never thought that I'd be here 
            G            C                   
A blinding call to prayer has touched my feet 
Like the call of the prophets 
  G                                 G/B      C 
A purpose is needed before you know that you know 
                          Em  G 
To never wonder what you are 
    Am                          G 
And not forget where you come from

G              C                         G/B 
 Is it really love you've been speaking of? 
    D               G 
Uh? What'd you say? What'd you say? 
C                          
What'd you say? Yeah, yeah 
G/B                 D  
What'd you say? Oh, what'd you say? 
G 
 I said that you need me, don't you?
