Ashley Monroe- The Truth. This is almost exactly how Ashley plays this live, minus a few fancy bits.
No capo
D G
Tell them all I'm on vacation
D G
Say I went to visit friends
D G
That you ain't heard a thing from me in quite a while
D G
When they ask you where I've been
Em
Tell them I'm out on the West Coast
G
Where it don't ever rain
Em G*
And that I'm probably doing fine
G D A
Just don't tell them I've gone crazy yeah
G D A
That I'm still strung out over you
G Bm (unbar for decending bassline)
Tell them anythin' you want to
Bm (unbarred) G
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
Em A
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth
Same as V1/bridge
Tell 'em all I'm out in Vegas
Blowin' every dollar I ever made
Tell 'em that I must be into somethin' bad for me
'Cause I sure lost a lot of weight
Tell 'em I'm out on the road
With some old rock and roll band
Living like a gypsy can
G D A
Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy
G D A
That I'm still strung out over you
G Bm (unbar for decending bassline)
Tell 'em anythin' you want to
Bm (unbarred) G
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
Em A
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth
G D
The truth is that I'm askin' you to lie
A G
And we both know that it ain't right
G
But if you ever loved me
Bm Bm (unbarred) G
Please have some mercy on me
A G D
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
G D A
G Bm
Tell 'em anything you want to
Bm (unbarred) G
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
G Em A
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth
D G
I still need you
G D
Yeah, that's the truth
G D A
I still love you
G D A G
Baby, that's the truth
Finish on D :)
