Intro: (A)       
   D
  Saw your friend working in this hotel
                    A
  Says he used to know you when
   D
  And your dreams, lucky as they seemed
                         A
  They all turned their back on you
    E           G D A
  Truth be known
    D
  Truth be known, way I feel tonight
                  A
  Living in this back street town
    D
  'Bout my dreams, they all seem to fade
                      A
  As soon as I put my money down
    E           G D A
  Truth be known
       D A D A E GDA
Adlib:             
    D
  When the fire that once was your friend
                     A
  Burns your fingers to the bone
   D
  And your song meets a sudden end
                   A
  Echoing through right and wrong
    E           G D A
  Truth be known
    E           G D A
  Truth be known
      D A D A E GDA
Coda:
