THE TRUTH. (James Blunt)
CAPO on 1st fret
G/B
 x20033
[Intro]
  Am G  G  F
|  |  |  |  |
[Verse 1]
       Am
It's a long, lonely road
          G
That I've walked on my own
      G                          F
Never thought I'd end up in this place (Ooh-ooh)
       Am
I went fast, I went slow
       G
Then I gave up all hope
         G                          F
'Cause I know, either way, it's the same (Ooh-ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
    Am                     G
And I'm not tryna find somebody
       G                        F
'Cause no one else but you will do (Ooh-ooh)
          Am
Yeah, the real thing is gold
      G                    G G
                              N.C.
How I wish I could hold you_u
[Chorus]
         Am                G/B C
I wasted all of these days and nights
          F                     C
Trying to chase all these empty highs
             Am             G/B    C
But I had to go to my worst so I'd know
                   G               F
That I just needed you oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
     Am                 G/B  C
As I look out at the morning sun
            F                          C
There's no escape from the things I've done
           Am                    G/B   C
And out of everything I've lost, now I know
                   G               F
That I just needed you Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
                          Am  C  G
And darling, that's the truth
            F
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
        Am
I don't lie anymore
     G
In a heap on the floor
           G                        F
'Cause I'm clear on the road I must take (Ooh-ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
    Am                      G
And I'm not tryna find somebody
       G                         F
'Cause no one else but you will do (Ooh-ooh)
    Am
I'm getting close, stumbling over
G                       G       G
Everything I need to say to you
[Chorus]
         Am                G/B C
I wasted all of these days and nights
          F                     C
Trying to chase all these empty highs
             Am             G/B    C
But I had to go to my worst so I'd know
                   G               F
That I just needed you oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And darling, that's the truth
            F
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And darling, that's the truth

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
       Am                 G
I will search with, every fiber
          G                  F
If you're out there, leave a light on
           Am                  G
'Cause the distance is getting wider
      G              F      F
                             N.C.
And I know I've gotta find ya
[Chorus]

I wasted all of these days and nights

Trying to chase all these empty highs

But I had to go to my worst so I'd know
