The Cold Hard Truth
recorded by George Jones
written by James O'hara
C
You don't know who I am
F
But I know all about you
G7
I've come to talk to you tonight
C
About the things I've seen you do
I've come to set the record straight
F
I've come to shine the light on you
G7
Let me introduce myself
C
I am the cold hard truth
There is a woman we both know
F
I think you know the one I mean
G7
She gave her heart and soul to you
C
You gave her only broken dreams
You say your not the one to blame
F
For all the heartaches she's been though
G7
I say you're nothing but a liar
C
And I'm the cold hard truth
C7 F
All your life that's how it's been
C
Looking out for number one
G7
Taking more than you give
C
Moving on when you're done
C7 F
With her you could have had it all
C
A family and love to last
G7
If you had any sense at all
C
You'd go and beg her to come back
You think that you're a real man
F
But you're nothing but a fool
G7
The way you run away from love
C
The way you try to play it cool
I'm gonna say this just one time
F
Time is running out on you
G7
You best remember me my friend
C
I am the cold hard truth
G7
You best remember me my friend
C
I am the cold hard truth
