Squeeze - The Truth
Album - Play
Here's some rudimentary chords for an underrated track from an underrated album.
I Dlied to you I've cheated too so what friend can I bGe?
But stAill you stick through thick & thin hoping that you'll change Dme.
I towed the line then fell behind our love began to wane
The pressure grew & then I knew that things were not the same.
Chorus
ThAe trF#muth is the Gtoughest thinDg to explainA  
ThAe trF#muth, playiGng tricks with Dme againA  
When the tGruth has to be toDld
My BlF#ood runs hot & CBmoldBm/A  
G A G D Em
FThGe AtrDuth, is not my middle name
(I'm pretty sure that the chord flourish on 'name' is accurate to the track, but I think
it's better just sticking with D if playing on your own)
Verse 2 - same chords
You threw a rope attached with hope way down into the sea
Where Lovers swim so deeply in the tides of mystery
For what it's worth I don't deserve A girl as strong as you
You're worth much more than me I'm sure accept this as the truth
Chorus 2 - same chords
The truth, it's the toughest thing to explain
The truth, playing tricks with me again
Well the truth has to be told
My Blood runs hot & Cold
The truth, is not my middle name
(Again, here's the chords for the solo starting on 'name') G   D  
Em F G F G F G F
G D
When the truth has to be told
My Blood runs hot & cold
The truth is not my middle name x2
