The Truth chords by Ashley Monroe

No capo



 D           G
Tell them all I'm on vacation

 D           G
Say I went to visit friends

 D             G
That you ain't heard a thing from me in quite a while

 D               G
When they ask you where I've been

 Em
Tell them I'm out on the West Coast

 G
Where it don't ever rain

Em              G*
And that I'm probably doing fine


 G                D    A
Just don't tell them I've gone crazy yeah

 G                D    A
That I'm still strung out over you

G              Bm (unbar for decending bassline)
Tell them anythin' you want to
Bm (unbarred)         G
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
                Em    A
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth



Same as V1/bridge

Tell 'em all I'm out in Vegas
Blowin' every dollar I ever made
Tell 'em that I must be into somethin' bad for me
'Cause I sure lost a lot of weight

Tell 'em I'm out on the road
With some old rock and roll band
Living like a gypsy can

 G                D    A
Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy

 G                D    A
That I'm still strung out over you

G              Bm (unbar for decending bassline)
Tell 'em anythin' you want to
Bm (unbarred)         G
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
                Em    A
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth


 G                   D
The truth is that I'm askin' you to lie

        A           G
And we both know that it ain't right

 G
But if you ever loved me

Bm         Bm (unbarred) G
Please have some mercy on me
 A         G    D
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


G  D  A

 G             Bm
Tell 'em anything you want to

Bm (unbarred)         G
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
 G               Em   A
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth

        D   G
I still need you

 G           D
Yeah, that's the truth

 G        D   A
I still love you


 G        D   A   G
Baby, that's the truth
