[ORPHEUS]
AmIf it's true what they say
FIf my love is gone for good
EmThey can take this heart away
FThey can take this flesh and blood
AmTake my mouth that kissed her mouth
TFake my tongue that sung her praise
TEmake my arms that used to reach out
FIn the dark where she lay
AmIf it's true what they saFy
AmI'll be on my wayF  
AmIf it's true what they say
FIf there's nothing to be done
EmIf there's no part to be played
FIf there's no song to be sung
AmTake this voice, take these hands
FI can't use them anyway
EmTake this music and the memory
FOf the muse from which it came
AmIf it's tCrue what they sFay
AmI'll be on my Fway
AmWe can all be on our Fway
If it's trEmue what they saAmy
AmBut the ones who tell the liFes
FAre the solemnest to swear
EmAnd the ones who load the dice
FAlways say the toss is fair
AmAnd the ones who deal the cards
FAre the ones who take the tricks
EmWith their hands over their hearts
FWhile we play the game they fix
AmAnd the ones who speak the words
FAlways say it is the last
EmAnd no answer will be heard
FTo the question no one asks
AmSo I ask you as a brother
FAnd I ask you as a friend
EmAnd I ask you as a lover
FAnd I ask you once again
Is it true what tGhey saFy?

[ORPHEUS]

If it's true what they say

If my love is gone for good

They can take this heart away

They can take this flesh and blood

Take my mouth that kissed her mouth

Take my tongue that sung her praise

Take my arms that used to reach out

In the dark where she lay

Am F

If it's true what they say

Am F

I'll be on my way

If it's true what they say

If there's nothing to be done

If there's no part to be played

If there's no song to be sung

Take this voice, take these hands

I can't use them anyway

Take this music and the memory

Of the muse from which it came

Am C F

If it's true what they say

Am F

I'll be on my way

Am F

We can all be on our way

Em Am

If it's true what they say

Am F

But the ones who tell the lies

Are the solemnest to swear

And the ones who load the dice

Always say the toss is fair

And the ones who deal the cards

Are the ones who take the tricks

With their hands over their hearts

While we play the game they fix

And the ones who speak the words

Always say it is the last

And no answer will be heard

To the question no one asks

So I ask you as a brother

And I ask you as a friend

And I ask you as a lover

And I ask you once again

G F

Is it true what they say?
