Never Shout Never – Lousy Truth (Ukulele)

                D          A
Girl, I've been thinking a lot

      D                 D
About who we could have been

   A     D              A
If I was back home just chillin'

     D
with you and all my friends

D         A        Bm
    But dear I'm gone

    A                D
and that's the lousy truth

D  A         D      
   For the past 3 years

  A          D       
I swear I've been a better man

D    A        D
than who I've become

  A               D           
I know, I know, I know I let you down

D     A        Bm
But I've been gone

    A        D
for too damn long

D E  A
  So if you go away right now,

             D       A     Bm
that I won't break your heart

 E    A
  But if you go and stay,

               D    A       Bm
that you would run a  -  way

        A        D        A     Bm
Cause dear it breaks my   heart

   A       D
to see you here

   A     D            A
So shine outward, not inward

              D
You've been a selfish little girl

    A   D
For the past 3 years

     A            D
I've been through more than you can know

      A      Bm    
and God I don't 

A           D
want you to know

D   A   D
What I have been through

      A        D             
cause you just wouldn't understand

       A      D              A
you're just a girl with some issues

   D
as bad as it might sound

D      A          Bm
But you're the girl

           A          D
who's been driving me mad

D E  A
  So if you go away right now,

             D       A     Bm
that I won't break your heart

 E    A
  But if you go and stay,

               D    A       Bm
that you would run a  -  way

        A        D        A     Bm
Cause dear it breaks my   heart

   A       D      A   
to see you here

   Bm    D         A
So go to school in Chicago

       Bm         D
find a new boy, a new life,

  A
a whole new set of friends

               Bm         D         A
Cause all that I'll ever do is break your heart

            Bm              A
and dear it breaks my heart

           D     
to see you here

D       A        Bm              A
Yeah, dear it breaks my heart

           D
to see you here

          D          A
I've been thinking a lot of

D                 D   
who we could have been

   A     D
if i was back home,

     A             D              
just chilling with you and all my friends

      A          Bm
But dear, I'm gone

    A                D
and that's the lousy truth.
