I wanna make amends, but where do I start?

Ah, ah
Dm G
Ah, ah
E F
Ah, ah
F G C C/B Am
Tell the truth to yourself
Dm G E F
Tell the truth
[Interlude]
Dm G C C/B Am
I can make my mother, my father, my sister, my brother
Dm G
My lover, my neighbor, my friends all happy
E F
Give of myself whatever they ask
Dm
But without this single truth
G
It is only emptiness that I cast
C C/B Am
A happiness that will not last
Dm
But I'm not here for that
G
For what does happiness help
E F
Without this simple truth given to thyself?
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am G F Fm
I was the coward

How they strangled your heart

I wanna make amends, but where do I start?

And the rest will fall in place

Tell the truth to yourself (Tell the truth)
F G
And the rest will fall in place (To your)
C G
Tell the truth to yourself (Tell the truth)
F G G7
And the rest will fall in place
