01 Nothing But the Truth
Brooker / Reid
Is it on, Tommy? (don't know if the chords are right in the intro but the bassnotes are
might be some misshearings about minor or major, sometimes it sounds best to play
without a 3rd.)
Intro: Em F G5
Am Dm6/B C
Dm Em F
F#m E/G# Am
Em F#m G
G#m F#/A# Bm
Dm Em F
F#m E/G# Am
Verse
Gm D+ Cm
It seems as clear as yesterday
Ab G Cm
We saw it in a dream
Gm F#+ Cm
but dream became insanity
Ab G C F riff:CDEbFGA
an awful gaping scream
Bb F Cm Gm
So sad to see such emptiness
Ab Bb C riff:CCAGGAC
So sad to see such tears
Bb F Cm Gm
And heaped up leaves of bitterness
Ab Bb C
turned mouldy down the years
Chorus (chords as inntro):
Em F G Am /B C
Nothing but the truth.
Dm Em F F#m E/G# Am
Common words in use
Em F#m G G#m F#/A# Bm
Hard to find excuse

Harder than the truth
Intro
middle8
D(m)
Like Icarus we flew too high
Bb C G
We flew too near the sun
D(m)
They caught us in that awful glare
Bb C G
Our hapless throats were strung
C D C D
But just before the final stroke
C G C G
They took us victims of the rope
C D C D
And cast us far beyond the deep
C G C G
To lie in never ending sleep
Intro
verse
It seems as clear as yesterday
They cast us in the deep
We lie in darkest night for good
Never ending sleep
A never ending bitter gloom
Whose darkness seldom clears
A God forsaken emptiness
Which fills our hearts with tears
Chorus
Intro
End on A Major
