Squeeze - The Truth
Album - Play

Here's some rudimentary chords for an underrated track from an underrated album.

  D                                                  G
I lied to you I've cheated too so what friend can I be?
      A                                                            D
But still you stick through thick & thin hoping that you'll change me.

I towed the line then fell behind our love began to wane
The pressure grew & then I knew that things were not the same.

Chorus

  A   F#m       G             D              A
The truth is the toughest thing to explain
  A   F#m       G             D              A
The truth, playing tricks with me again
          G                D
When the truth has to be told
     F#              Bm    Bm/A
My Blood runs hot & Cold
      G        A                G D Em 
F G A D
The truth, is not my middle name

(I'm pretty sure that the chord flourish on 'name' is accurate to the track, but I think 
it's better just sticking with D if playing on your own)

Verse 2 - same chords

You threw a rope attached with hope way down into the sea
Where Lovers swim so deeply in the tides of mystery
For what it's worth I don't deserve A girl as strong as you
You're worth much more than me I'm sure accept this as the truth

Chorus 2 - same chords

The truth, it's the toughest thing to explain
The truth, playing tricks with me again
Well the truth has to be told
My Blood runs hot & Cold
The truth, is not my middle name

(Again, here's the chords for the solo starting on 'name') G D 
Em F G F G F G F 
G D


When the truth has to be told
My Blood runs hot & cold
The truth is not my middle name x2
