Subject: The True One    Gene Clark     Chords/Words
CAhanges come  so quickly easily Dit can seem bizarre
TEhey say there's a price to pay  for Dgoing out too fAar
You can buy  a one way ticket Dout there all alone
EThen you sit and wonder why
It's so Dhard to get back Ahome
Nothing is important lost that's not Deasy to believe
The Elonger you're in one place the Dharder it is to Aleave
You can have a thousand cards to Dpull out of your sleeve
But Ein the end the loser is  the Done who does decieAve
There's always a Bmreality Ein what you are Adoing
Sometimes it's so Bmhard to see  Ewhich one is the Atrue one
AI use to treat my friends  like I was Dmore than a millionare
ESpending those big ones like I could Dafford  them all upstAairs
But what's been flying high must aDlways touch the ground
Just Ewalk upstairs and ask  you'll be Dlikely directed Adown
Into the Bmreality Eof what you are Adoing
Sometimes it's so Bmhard to see  Ewhich one is the Atrue one
There's always a Bmreality in wEhat you are Adoing
Sometimes it's so Bmhard to see  Ewhich one is the Atrue one
