[Verse 1]
E            A7  E
What if half the things ever said
E          A7      E
Turned out to be a lie
A7                    E      A7 E
How will you know the Truth?
E                A7 E
If you were given   all the answers
E                  A7     E
And you stopped to wonder why
A7                        E      A7 E
But how will you know the Truth?
[Chorus]
B7
Everybody's got a right to love
A7
Everybody's got a right to lie
B7
But the choice you make it ain't no piece of cake
A7                                E    A7   E
It ain't no motherfuckin' piece of pie
[Verse 2]
E              A7   E
What If time's only reason?
E                   A7          E
Was to give us all something to fear?
E             A7                               E    A7 E
And if so you all, the end of the journey's so clear
E7
Questionaire, What did you stand for?
E7
Questionaire, Who did you save?
        A7
When it gets right down to wait a minute
        A7
When it gets right down to the nitty of the gritty
        A7                                            E   A7  E
When it gets right down to it you take more than you gave
[Chorus]
B7
Everybody's got a right to love
A7
Everybody's got a right to lie
B7
But the choice you make it ain't no piece of cake
A7                                E    A7   E
It ain't no motherfuckin' piece of pie
[Bridge]
E                                         A7 E
Got to (Going to?) tell the truth you all
E
Got to tell the truth
E                           A7 E
Got to tell the truth you all
E
Got to tell the truth
E                            A7 E
Got to tell the truth you all
Got to tell the truth
[Outro]
E                         A7 E
If there was just one day
E                            A7  E
That everybody tell the truth
E
We'd all trade bank accounts and move to back to Neptune
