[Verse]
D A
They say that I'm the kind of man who always speaks his mind
A7 D
To me there's nothing stronger then the truth.
D A
You can ask me almost anything and I'll tell it like it is.
A7 D
But darlin' when they ask me about you.
[Chorus]
D7 G D
I tell it like it used to be when you were still in love with me
A Bm A
Before you got too used to me and wanted someone new
G D
I tell it like it ought to be 'cause how it is is killing me
A G A D
When they ask about you and me I tell it like it used to be.
[Verse]
D A
I wish that I was stronger I could tell them that you've gone.
A7 D
But that's one thing that I may never do.
D A
If they want to hear about our love and how it all went wrong.
A7 D
Then darlin' they'll just have to talk to you.
[Chorus]
D7 G D
I tell it like it used to be when you were still in love with me
A Bm A
Before you got too used to me and wanted someone new
G D
I tell it like it ought to be 'cause how it is is killing me
A G A D
When they ask about you and me I tell it like it used to be.
[Chorus]
D7 G D
I tell it like it used to be when you were still in love with me
A Bm A
Before you got too used to me and wanted someone new
G D
I tell it like it ought to be 'cause how it is is killing me
A G A D
When they ask about you and me I tell it like it used to be.
