intro - F Bb F


V1
         F  
theres a look on her face, shes starting to master 
        Dm                  Bb
as she carefully closes the door
           F
shes been coming home late with pre-package answers 
   Dm                     Bb       
to questions she tries to avoid


PD-C HORUS
         Gm
now shes talking to fast
      Dm 
and i just have to ask  
      Bb                            C
baby whats all the cloak and dagger for?


CHORUS
             F                    Dm
Ok heres the truth, i ran out of gas
            Bb            Am                 Gm
and i didnt call because i thought you'll be mad
       F                                 Dm
so i started to walk, took an hour and a half
                Bb         Am            Gm
to get off that highway and fill up that can
       Bb          C            F 
i was hoping that you'll understand 


V2
shes getting good with the lies
so good that u wonder 
if the rabbit in the hat tricks for real
she turns water into wine and i'd almost believe her
if her eyes just for once could keep still

PD-C HORUS
now my patiece wears thin
cause she late once again
honey tell me what delayed you this time?

CHORUS 2
ok heres the truth
its gonna sound kinda strange
but i took a new way home from work for a change 
it started out find, till i got to route nine
wait an hour on way before i realise
im sorry ive ruined all our plans
     Bb           C                  C#
i was hoping that you'll understand 

BRIDGE
    C#                  Eb
in there watching her secretly talking
        F                       Bb
it is just about all that i can bare
            C#                         Eb
now i know why shes been wearing more makeup and caring
    F                      Bb  
so much about changing her hair

V3
the telephone vibrates on the table again
another damm private call coming through
now shes visibly shaking and i just feel like taking
that phone throwing it clear cross the room

PD-C HORUS
she anwers hello
a mans voice i dont know
says its time that you tell him the truth

       Gm
now i cant take this more
      Dm             
honey im out the door
    Gm                    Dm 
no i wont relax, i got my suitcase all pack
      F                                   G
but what she said next stop me dead in my tracks 

CHORUS 3
Ok heres the truth, 
its not what you think
the man that you heard is head of oncology
im sorry i lied, to you all of those times
i didn't know how to tell you i might not survive

Ok theres the truth, ive got six months to live
only wanted whats best for you and the kids
i promise i fight, with all of my might
but if i loose this battle i lived a good life
    Bb               C        Dm
so baby just please hold my hand
     Bb           C
and tell me that you ...
   F          B    C        F
understand
