You can save your tall tales and your short stories

They don't do much, not, not for me

A little truth goes a long long way

If you can't say it back, well, it's okay not to speak

There to tell me when it rains

I don't need to read between the lines

                  Em              F
When it's already written on your face

  Don't try to excuse your past

       F
'Cause I don't want to know

Bm             C
  Don't worry 'bout the future, babe

       F
'Cause that comes down the road
