Like a Em7gunshot from Asus4miles away
D/F#She's moGsus2ving in
      Em7A            Asus4  
Like a rainstorm with out the clouds
D/F#She falls on Gsus2him
Like a pEm7hone call to wAsus4orn the truth
D/F#It never rinGsus2gs
[Chorus:]
It's thAsus4e truth befoDsus4re the liGsus2es

Oh that lAsus4ove was supposed to win
But sD/F#ometimes it's the demons

He slips off his worn out suit and tries to rest
She's a million miles away across the bed
She rolls over puts her hand across his chest
[Chorus:]
It's the truth before the lies
It's the way she doesn't try
It's the wink before the sly
In Philadelphia
In Philadelphia
In Philadelphia
