Truth
Em
The truth is that I never shook my shadow
Every day it's trying to trick me into doing battle
G
Calling out "faker" only get me rattled
Want to pull me back behind the fence with the [cattle]
Em
Building your [lenses]
Digging your trenches
Put me on the front line
Leave me with a dumb mind
G
With no defenses
But your defenses
If you can't stand to feel the pain then you are senseless
[Since] this
Em
I've grown up some
Different kind of fighter
And when the darkness come let it inside you
C
Your darkness is shining
My darkness is shining
G D
Have faith in myself
Em
Truth
Em
I've seen a million numbered doors on the horizon
Now which is the future you choosen before you gone dying.
G
I'll tell you 'bout a secret I've been underminding
Every little lie in this world come from dividing
Em
Say you're my lover, say you're my homie,
Tilt my chin back slit my throat take a bath in my blood get to know me
G
All out of my secrets
All my enemies are turning into my teachers.
Em
Because, lights blinding, no way dividing what's yours or mine when everything's shining
C
You darkness is shining my darkness is shining
G D
Have faith in ourselves
Em
Truth
[[For this part see the bottom]]
Yes I'm only loving, only trying to only love
That's what I'm trying to do is only loving
Yes I'm only lonely loving feeling only loving
Till I'm feeling only loving
Ya say it ain't loving ain't loving my loving
But I'm only loving only loving only loving
Only loving the truth.
I came up with a very easy solo that consists out of 8 small segments:
-------------][2-2-2-2-2-0-0---][0-0-0-0-0----][---------------][
-------------][----------------][---------0-0-][-0-0-0-0-0-----][
0-0-0-0-0-4-4][----------------][-------------][------------0-0][
-------------][----------------][-------------][---------------][
-------------][----------------][-------------][---------------][
-------------][----------------][-------------][---------------][
3-3-3-3-3-3-3][----------------][0-0-0-0-0----][---------------][
-------------][--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-][----------0-0][0-0-0-0-0------][
-------------][----------------][-------------][----------0-0--][
-------------][----------------][-------------][---------------][
-------------][----------------][-------------][---------------][
-------------][----------------][-------------][---------------][
Repeat it once, then for the third time you only play the first 2(of 8) little segment and end with the 2's
on the e-string of the second segment before you start with the normal chords again.
-If you don't want to play the solo during this bit, I suggest these chords:
G - D - Em - C or G (C sounds to high during the solo in my opinion,
so I play the G without my pink on the top e-snare).
-When you do the D and lift your ring-finger from the e-snare,
you will notice that it basically sounds like the solo as well.
-Strum pattern changes during this part,
but if you mess around with the last C or G you will find a way that suits you best.
This is my first tab, I hope it helped.
Much obliged,
