(verse 1)
E
You don't know who I am,
A
I know all about you,
A B7
I've come to talk to you tonight,
E A E
About the things I've seen you do
E
I've come to set the record straight,
A
I've come to shine the light on you,
A B7
Let me introduce myself,
E
I'm the cold hard truth,
(verse 2)
There's a woman we both know,
I think you know the one I mean,
She gave her heart and soul to you,
You gave her only broken dreams,
You say you're not the one to blame,
For all the heartache she's been through,
I say you're nothing but a liar,
And I'm the cold hard truth,
E7 A
All your life that's how it's been,
E
Looking out for number one,
E B
Taking more than you give,
E A - E
Movin' on when you're done,
E A
With her you could have it all,
E
A family enough to last,
E B7
If you had any sense at all,
E A - E
You'd go and beg her to come back,
(lead chords - B - E - F)
(verse 3)
F
You think that you're a real man,
Bb F
But you're nothing but a fool,
Bb C7
The way you run away from love,
F Bb - F
The way you try to play it cool,
(verse 4)
F
I'm gonna say this just one time,
Bb
Time is running out on you,
Bb C7
You best remember me my friend,
F
I'm the cold hard truth,
F C
You best remember my my friend,
F
I am the cold hard truth,
