INTRO: G C G D G C G Scratched a heart on your door then I showed myself outside G C G Lashed my soul 'cross this twin-v horse and rode off in the night C Em C D Guess you noticed I'm gone and the old mornin' sun's castin' shadows with questions inside G C G D So the truth in this letter at dawn will shed a new light CHORUS: G Truth is, I lied when I said I'd always be your whippin' pet Em I lied when I said I didn't mind the hurt I guess C D C When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive (I lied) G Truth is, last night when you tore my heart apart my mind began Em Never thinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again C D C And the freedom that filled me kept spellin' out truth as I'd write G C G D Truth is I lied.... G C G Saw an image of you where the highway touched the sky G C G It was blockin' my view so I steered that thought aside C Em C D Now the mornin' and me ride a cold memory past tomorrow to some other town G C G D Where we'll never care whether this truth was lost or found CHORUS: G Truth is, I lied when I said I'd always be your whippin' pet Em I lied when I said I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess C D C When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive (I lied) G Truth is, last night when you tore my heart apart my mind began Em Never thinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again C D C And the freedom that filled me kept spellin' out truth as I'd write G C Em C D Truth is I lied... G C Em C D G Truth is I lied...
