When The Truth Is

Db   Ebm   Fm


[Verse 1]
Db                     Ebm              Fm
I was drowning out the night with the last of the wine
        Db     Ebm       Fm
And my story began to unwind
     Db               Ebm         Fm
So I gathered all the shot of a glass from the bar
      Db          Ebm            Fm
And I left from 17th street for St. Marks


[Pre-Chorus]
Gb
Won’t you listen to me now?
Ab
I was trying all the time
Gb
Maybe half the time I got you right
Ab
But not tonight


[Chorus]
    Db    Ebm        Fm
Oh I’ll always be lonely
    Db           Ebm       Fm
And you’ll never hear the truth


[Verse 2]
         Db                      Ebm                   Fm
‘Cause the truth is there’s some distance, but you’re listening
           Db               Ebm           Fm
And I keep walking my way back into your heart


[Pre-Chorus]
Gb
Your mama told you I’d long gave up baby but
Ab
Your mama lied
Gb
Half the time you let me slide
Ab
But not tonight


[Chorus]
    Db    Ebm        Fm
Oh I’ll always be lonely
    Db           Ebm       Fm
And you’ll never hear the truth
     Db     Ebm       Fm
Yeah I’ll always be lonely
    Db          Ebm        Fm
And you’ll never hear the truth


[Verse 3]
      Db                 Ebm              Fm
In the graveyards, in the harbors in the beer halls and the parks
       Db               Ebm        Fm
I’ll be wandering under unfamiliar stars
        Db            Ebm           Fm
But the spirits in my heart don’t persuade me anymore
        Db             Ebm        Fm
Than my echoes off the brick and mortar walls


[Outro]
    Db                 Fm                   Ebm
And truth there’s some distance, but you’re listening
    Db                 Fm                   Ebm
And the truth is there’s some distance, but you’re listening
