Tell It How It Is chords by The Growlers

Intro:

E  G#7  C#m  E


Verse:

E
If you’re trying to get in his head
Then you’re just wasting your breath
              G#7
'Cause he might as well be dead
      C#m
There just ain’t no getting through
                E
If that’s what you’re trying to do

Verse:

E
And to those who don’t know him yet
He don’t care if you ever do
         G#7
He is faithful to himself
    C#m
And it can hurt to hear the truth
                 E
But he just ain’t concerned with you


Chorus:

     C#m              E
They were mean, said they were silly dreams
                C#m
So he had to leave, no time to grieve
Had to set out and find
                E
Something better than what he left behind
Something he knew was worth
      C#m         E
All of his pain and hurt

E  G#7  C#m  E


Verse:

E
He gets down on his own self
More than anybody else can
            G#7
And it’s easy to understand
      C#m
But it can hurt to hear the truth
                 E
But he just ain’t concerned with you


Chorus:

    C#m           E
'Cause spirits have their own minds
                     C#m
They can’t be confined to fit between the lines
            E
Spirits have their own minds
                    C#m
They can’t be confined, they draw their own lies


Bridge:

   A         E
It’s alright tell 'em how it is
   C#              E
Even though it don’t make you popular
 A         E
Sometimes you gotta be a dick
     C#      E
You don’t have to roll over

E  G#7  C#m E
