[D#m] [G#m] [F#]
[E] [F#]
[B] Lie number one, you're [G#m] supposed to have [F#] it all [B] together
[F#]
And when [B] they ask how you're doing, just [G#m] smile and tell [F#] them, never [B] better
[F#]
[B] Lie [D#m] number two, [G#m] everybody's life [B] is perfect except yours
[F#]
So keep [B] your messes and your wounds and [G#m] your secrets safe [B] with you behind closed doors
[F#]
[E] But truth be [F#] told, [G#m] the truth [B] is rarely [E] told
I [B] say I'm fine, yeah [D#m] I'm fine, oh [G#m] I'm fine, hey [F#] I'm fine, [E] but I'm not
I'm [F#] broken, and when [B] it's out of [F#] control I say [G#m] it's under [F#] control, [E] but it's not
And you [F#] know it, [E] I don't know why it's so hard to [F#] admit it
When [G#m] being honest is [F#] the only way [E] to fix it
There's [B] no failure, [F#] no fall, there's [G#m] no sin, you [F#] don't already [E] know
So let [F#] the truth be [B] told
[A#m]
[G#m] [B] [E]
[F#] [B] There's a sign on [D#m] the door, [G#m] says come as [B] you are, but I [E] doubt it
[F#] Cause if [B] we lived like that was true, [G#m] every Sunday [B] morning pew would be [E] crowded
[F#] [B] But didn't you [G#m] say church should [B] look more like a hospital
[F#] A [B] safe place for the sick, [G#m] the sinner and [B] the scarred and the prodigal, like [F#] me
Well [E]
truth be [F#] told, [G#m] the truth [B] is rarely told
Oh am I [F#] the only one who [B] says I'm fine, yeah I'm fine, [G#m] oh I'm fine, [F#] hey I'm fine, [E] but I'm not
I'm [F#] broken, [B] and when it's out of control I [G#m] say it's under [F#] control, [E] but it's not
And you [F#] know it, [E] I don't know why it's so hard [F#] to admit it
When [G#m] being honest [F#] is the only [E] way to fix it
[B] There's no failure, no fall, [G#m] there's no sin, you [F#] don't [E] already know
So let [F#] the truth be [E] told
Can I [F#] really stand here [G#m] unashamed, knowing [B] that your love for me won't [E] change
Oh God [F#] if that's really [B] true, then let the [G#m] truth [F#] be [E] told
[F#] I [B] say I'm fine, [F#] yeah I'm fine, [G#m] oh I'm fine, [F#] hey I'm fine, [E] but I'm not
I'm [F#] broken, and [B] when it's out [B] of control I [G#m] say it's under [F#] control, [E] but it's not
And you [F#] know it, [E] I don't know why it's so hard [F#] to admit it
When [G#m] being honest is the [F#] only [E] way to fix it
[B] There's no failure, [F#] no fall, [G#m] there's no sin, [F#] you don't [E] already know
Yeah [F#] I know
[B] There's no failure, [D#m] no fall, [G#m] there's no sin, you [F#] don't [E] already know
So [F#] let the truth be told
[B]
