The Truth Chords & Lyrics - Foster The People

Capo: 1 | Key: G#

Well [G]I've been trying to [Em]re-learn my name
It [D]seems like a [G]thousand years
I've [Em]been out of frame and I sur[D]render
The [G]truth is what
What I've [Em]needed from you
[D]I've been [G]floating within your [Em]walls of opinion
[D]And I'm [G]tired - I only want the truth

[C] (I have tried so hard not to be like them
[G] I have found they don't ever say [G/B]what they mean)
[C] There is a truth, there is a [Em]light[G]
[Am]If you'd follow me [G]there
[C] (I've been searching for the directions and
[G] I'm convinced the world doesn't know [G/B]what it needs)
[C] There is a hope for the [Em]hopeless[G]
[Am]I can promise you [G]that

Yeah, well [G]I've been accosted
The jury's been partial
But [G]I won't surrender
To prove to you I won't [G]lie
Under pressure of compro[Em]mise
[D]Yeah, well an [G]absolute measure
Won't change with opinion
No [Em]matter how hard you try
It's an im[D]movable [G]thing
Just like the visions in your b[Em]ed
Or when they're streaming i[D]n your [C]head

[C] (I have tried so hard not to be like them
[G] I have found they don't ever say [G/B]what they mean)
[C] There is a truth, there is a [Em]light[G]
[Am]If you'd follow me [G]there
[C] (I've been searching for the directions and
[G] I'm convinced the world doesn't know [G/B]what it needs)[C]
There is a [Em]hope [G]
[Am]And I'll come [G]back

If you're [C]leading my hand
The world is so broken
I'm [G]tripping my steps
I'm slipping and [G/B]I know [C]why
Em G-Am
I never thought that I'd be here
A blinding c[G]all to prayer[C] has touched my feet
Like the call of the prophets
A [G]purpose is needed before you know [G/B]that you [C]know
To never wonder what you a[Em]re [G]
And [Am]not forget where you come fr[G]om

Interlude: [G] [C] [G/B] [D] [G] [C] [G/B] [D]

[G] Is it really l[C]ove you've been speaking o[G/B]f?
Uh? [D]What'd you say? [G]What'd you say?
[C]What'd you say? Yeah, yeah, [G/B]yeah
Oh, [D]what'd you say?
[G] I said that you need me, don't you?

Interlude: [C] [G] [G/B] [C]

There is a [Em]trut[G]h
[Am]I can promise you [G]that
[C] (I have tried so hard not to be like them
[G] I have found they don't ever say [G/B]what they mean)
[C] Yeah[Em] , ye[G]ah [Am]eh

[G]The [C]truth
The [G]truth stands in [G/B]the [C]end
While you're [Em]deci[G]ding [Am]what to [G]do [C]
The [G]truth stands in [G/B]the [C]end
While you're [Em]deci[G]ding [Am]what to do[G]
