[Verse 1]
Dm       Em           Am
 I remember when it started

          Am
Seems so long ago now

Dm             Em          Am
 Sublime and Stoopid they led it

             Am
Then us and Reb came along

Dm               Em
 And now Sticks coming up hot

Am           Am
 And Dirty's always been in

Dm         Em            Am              Am
 Then Em & Amy saw something that all of us saw as well
[Chorus]
Dm              Em
 I don’t wanna lie to you

Am                 Am
 But it breaks my heart in two

Dm             Em
 I just wanna live forever

Am         Am
 We all do, we all do

Dm          Em
 And every word I ever say

Am                     Am
 I'm telling you the truth, truth

Dm                    Em     Am
 Cause I don't wanna lie to you

               Am
I don’t wanna lie to you
[Verse 2]

 We're all just following those footsteps from when we were kids

Dm               Em
 Like our first time in Hawaii

Am               Am
 Like our first time in Brazil

Dm                Em            Am
 Like that first time at the Grammy's

          Am         Dm
I didn't win and I cried

            Em      Am                 Am
I heard my man LAS say, "Jake, I love watching you try."
[Chorus]
Dm              Em
 I don't wanna lie to you

Am                 Am
 But it breaks my heart in two

Dm             Em
 I just wanna live forever

Am         Am
 We all do, we all do

Dm          Em
 And every word I ever say

Am                     Am
 I'm telling you the truth, truth

Dm                    Em     Am
 Cause I don't wanna lie to you

               Am
I don’t wanna lie to you
[Post-Chorus]
Dm Em Am              Am
       I don't wanna lie to you

Dm Em Am              Am
       I don't wanna lie to you

Dm Em Am              Am
       I don't wanna lie to you

Dm Em Am Am
          Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Dm               Em          Am              Am
 We’re all just following our old path each day on this land

Dm           Em           Am               Am
 See Reggae music is really on stage, but more in the stands

Dm             Em                Am
 We all just start with Bob Marley

             Am        Dm
We all need Reggae to dance

             Em           Am            Am
Driving for hours with SOJA turn into driving for fans
[Chorus]
Dm              Em
 I don't wanna lie to you

Am             Am
 It breaks my heart in two

Dm             Em
 I just wanna live forever

Am         Am
 We all do, we all do

Dm          Em
 And every word I ever say

Am                     Am
 I'm telling you the truth, truth

Dm                    Em      Am
 Cause I don't wanna lie to roots

               Am
I don’t wanna lie to you
[Post-Chorus]
Dm Em Am         Am
       I cannot lie in roots

Dm Em Am             Am
       To fall underneath the truth

Dm Em Am              Am
       I don't wanna lie to you

Dm Em              Am               Am
     It breaks my heart in two, but all I need

Dm Em Am              Am
       I don't wanna lie to you

Dm Em              Am               Am
     It breaks my heart in two, but all I need
[Outro]
         Dm                        Em
The stage is nothing without the stands

Am        Am                        Dm
 The bands are nothing without the fans

 Em                    Am       Am
To all hearers of this, to all hearers to come

 Dm Em Am Am  Dm Em Am Am
SOJA!
