TO TELL THE TRUTH (Kim Richey, Angelo, Larry Gottlieb)
------------------------------------------------------
[On the recording, the rhythm guitar plays in E with a capo on 6, and
 the lead is in A with a capo on 1.  I'll write down the A chords.]
[Each chord is one 4/4 measure.]

E7   E7   A   A
[intro]

  A               Amaj7            A7          D
I like to think nobody knows what's going on inside
    Bm7                  E7               E7               A
You like to say it didn't mean a thing or hurt to say goodbye
 A                  Amaj7              A7           D
I tell a joke, you laugh too loud, the party never ends
D                A           E7             A    A [stop]
We're not fooling anyone, so why try to pretend

              E     E              A    A
To tell the truth,   I still love you
           E     E                A    A
Tell the truth,   you still care too
      D                    D                    D                 A    A
I can see it in your eyes, see it in your smile, clear across the room
           E     E           A     A
Tell the truth,   tell the truth

A   Amaj7   A7   D      D    A    E7    A    A
[guitar solo]

F#m                    F#m             A                   A
  True love knows the real thing, baby, there's nowhere to hide
        F#m            F#m            Bm7                 E7    E7 [stop]
It hears every word you never say, and sees through every lie
A               Amaj7        A7               D
Maybe we could find a way to get beyond our pride
     D              A                 E7               A
It's such a waste of precious time to keep up this disguise


To tell the truth, I still love you
Tell the truth, you still care too
I can see it in your eyes, see it in your smile, clear across the room
Tell the truth, tell the truth
           E    E [stop]            A    A    A    A.
Tell the truth        I still love you
