01 Nothing But the Truth
Brooker / Reid
Is it on, Tommy? (don't know if the chords are right in the intro but the bassnotes are
might be some misshearings about minor or major, sometimes it sounds best to play
without a 3rd.)
Intro:

Verse
+
It seems as clear as yesterday
We saw it in a dream
+
but dream became insanity
riff:CDEbFGA
an awful gaping scream
So sad to see such emptiness
riff:CCAGGAC
So sad to see such tears
And heaped up leaves of bitterness
turned mouldy down the years
Chorus (chords as inntro):
/
Nothing but the truth.
Common words in use
/
Hard to find excuse
Harder than the truth

(m)
Like Icarus we flew too high
We flew too near the sun
(m)
They caught us in that awful glare
Our hapless throats were strung
But just before the final stroke
They took us victims of the rope
And cast us far beyond the deep
To lie in never ending sleep
Intro
verse
It seems as clear as yesterday
They cast us in the deep
We lie in darkest night for good
Never ending sleep
A never ending bitter gloom
Whose darkness seldom clears
A God forsaken emptiness
Which fills our hearts with tears
Chorus
Intro
End on A Major
