[Verse 1]
From cGoast to coast, from dGark to bright
You can sDearch for truth in a pDool of light
  CLet it keep you Cup all night
  G‘til you fall aslDeep 
You can trGeat your neighbour like a fGront door mat
As you flDuctuate like thDermostat
While you swCim the sewers hColdin’ you back with their 
  Gwater at your feDetD  
COoCoh C  C  
[Verse 2]
You can wGage a war, cGast a stone
HDoist your flag upon a chDicken bone
  CPatrol the streets with a mCegaphone 
  GEvery day you brDeathe
Shouting, “ChrGist don’t live in an Gangry heart,”
Or sDome such crap nDo-one’s smart 
enoCugh to recognCise as crap 
G– might as well agDreeD  
[Chorus]
An' that’s the trCuth,  C  
but the dCay it goes on sCale it becomes a GlieG  
And that’s the trCuth. C  
You can tCurn your head or loCok it in the eyDeD  
An hConest man won’t sCell it: 
He knows the trDuth it has an edgDe
Be like   Ctrying to sell the sCunset baby C  
   CFrom the Brooklyn GBDriCdgCe. GBDriCdgCe. GBDriCdgCe.

[Verse 3]
You can sGave the tiger, you can kGill the fox
You can trDash the ground, you can cDall the cops.
  CPush a button whCen it stops and 
  GStart it up agDain
You can flGip a new leaf, tGurn a new channel
Stick a brDand-new wick in a bDurned out candle
NCever let nothing yCou can’t handle get 
  GUnderneath your skDinD  
COoCoh C  C  
[Verse 4]
You can bGeat the odds, protGect your interest
ChDoose your choice in a DTV set, or
  CTry to find some cCommon step 
Between a slGam dance and a wDaltz
You can tGurn your back on the GCIA
Strike a dDeal so big nobDody gets paid
ExcCept those hired to clCose the deal 
And make sGure it wasn’t fDalse
[Chorus]
An' that’s the trCuth,  C  
but the dCay it goes on sCale it becomes a GlieG  
And that’s the trCuth. C  
You can tCurn your head or loCok it in the eyDeD

[Verse 1]

G G

From coast to coast, from dark to bright

You can search for truth in a pool of light

Let it keep you up all night

‘til you fall asleep

You can treat your neighbour like a front door mat

As you fluctuate like thermostat

While you swim the sewers holdin’ you back with their

water at your feet

C C C C

Oooh

[Verse 2]

G G

You can wage a war, cast a stone

D D

Hoist your flag upon a chicken bone

C C

Patrol the streets with a megaphone

G D

Every day you breathe

G G

Shouting, “Christ don’t live in an angry heart,”

D D

Or some such crap no-one’s smart

C C

enough to recognise as crap

G D D

– might as well agree

[Chorus]

C C

An' that’s the truth,

C C G G

but the day it goes on sale it becomes a lie

C C

And that’s the truth.

C C D D

You can turn your head or look it in the eye

An honest man won’t sell it:

He knows the truth it has an edge

Be like trying to sell the sunset baby

Push a button when it stops and

Start it up again

You can flip a new leaf, turn a new channel

Stick a brand-new wick in a burned out candle

Never let nothing you can’t handle get

G D D

Underneath your skin

C C C C

Oooh

[Verse 4]

G G

You can beat the odds, protect your interest

Choose your choice in a TV set, or

C C

Try to find some common step

G D

Between a slam dance and a waltz

G G

You can turn your back on the CIA

D D

Strike a deal so big nobody gets paid

C C

Except those hired to close the deal

G D

And make sure it wasn’t false

[Chorus]

C C

An' that’s the truth,

C C G G

but the day it goes on sale it becomes a lie

C C

And that’s the truth.

C C D D

You can turn your head or look it in the eye

An honest man won’t sell it:

He knows the truth it has an edge

Be like trying to sell the sunset baby
