Capo 2
[Intro]
D-G-D-Bm-A-D  
[Verse]
DI said it was over, I sGaid we were thDrough
I said when I lBmeft, I was dEmone loving yGou
But I'm fiDghting a feelin' that cGan't be denDied
So forget what I tBmold you, the tAruth is I lDied
DI know you weren't expectin', this viGsit from Dme
With my hat in my haBmnd and my hEmeart on my sAleeve
I've stoDpped my pretendin' and I've swaGllowed my prDide
I came here to tBmell ya, the tAruth is I lDied
[Verse]
DThe trGuth is I'm just not, as stDrong as I thought 
This baBmttle is harder, than any wAar that we've foDught
I sGaid I could just push, your meDmory aBmside
And I mDeant when I sBmaid it, but the tAruth is I lDied
Is it asCking to mGuch to, forDget and forgive
DyCing for yBmour love, is Ano way to live
And the trGuth is I'm just not, as stDrong as I thought
This bBmattle is harder than any wAar that we've fought
I saGid I could just push, your meDmory aBmside
And I mDeant it, when I sBmaid it, but the tAruth is I lDied
[Outro]
Oh, I meant it when I sBmaid it, but the trAuth is I lDied
