The Avett Brothers
Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place Verse 1: I lied to the doctor I lied to my lover Pre-Chorus I wanna make amends but where do I start? Tell the truth to yourself (Tell the truth) And the rest will fall in place (To your) Tell the truth to yourself (Tell the truth) And the rest will fall in place Bridge: Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah Tell the truth to yourself Tell the truth Interlude I can make my mother my father my sister my brother My lover my neighbor my friends all happy Give of myself whatever they ask But without this single truth It is only emptiness that I cast A happiness that will not last But I’m not here for that For what does happiness help Without this simple truth given to thyself? Verse 2: I was the coward How they strangled your heart Pre-Chorus I wanna make amends but where do I start? Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place Tell the truth to yourself (Tell the truth) And the rest will fall in place (To your) Tell the truth to yourself (Tell the truth) And the rest will fall in place
