(Metcalfe/Noble)
Intro: A-G-A-E7   A-G-E7
E7             A-F#m-Bm
Can't give you love
                E7
That's just not there
        A            F#m-Bm
Or even say it's for you
         E7
I really care
     A      A7
Your eyes I see
  D      Dm
Begin to smart
        A           E7      A-G-A-E7-A-G-E7
Yes the truth often hurts a heart
E7  A      F#m-Bm
The girl I love
                 E7
She laughed with me
        A          F#m-Bm
When we walked and kissed
          E7
I felt so free
         A          A7
Then she turned And said
     D      Dm
We'd better part
        A           E7      A-G-A
Yes the truth often hurts a heart
A        C#m          F#m
You love me more than I love you
       D              E7               A-E7
That's something that I've had said to me
         A      C#m       F#m
It's the way of love they blindly say
    D    E7      D             E7
But only time consoles the misery
A       F#m-Bm           E7
I never thought I'd be unkind
          A
And I can see 
     F#m-Bm
That you
                   E7
That you're really mine
        A         A7
So it's hard  For me 
   D      Dm
To break apart
        A           E7      A-G-A
Yes the truth often hurts a heart
A        C#m          F#m
You love me more than I love you
       D              E7               A-E7
That's something that I've had said to me
         A      C#m       F#m
It's the way of love they blindly say
    D    E7      D             E7
But only time consoles the misery
A       F#m-Bm           E7

          A
And I can see 
     F#m-Bm
That you
                   E7
That you're really mine
        A         A7
