    THE COLD HARD TRUTH    George Jones

n.c.                 E                     A

You don't know who I am  I know all about you

A                          B7                                    E A E

I've come to talk to you tonight About the things I've seen you do

E                                                                      A

I've come to set the record straight  I've come to shine the light on you

A                  B7                       E

Let me introduce myself, I'm the cold hard truth

n.c.                     E                                A

There's a woman we both know  I think you know the one I mean

A                       B7                                     E    A E 

She gave her heart and soul to you  You gave her only broken dreams

E                                                            A

You say you're not the one to blame  For all the heartache she's been through

A                    B7                                  E

I say you're nothing but a liar  And I'm the cold hard truth

E7                             A                             E

All your life that's how it's been  Looking out for number one

E                     B                            E   A E

Taking more than you give  Movin' on when you're done

E                           A                        E

With her you could have it all  A family enough to last

E                       B7                                 E   A E, lead(B E F)

If you had any sense at all  You'd go and beg her to come back      (key change)



F                                                          Bb   F

You think that you're a real man But you're nothing but a fool

Bb                         C7                              F   Bb F                         

The way you run away from love The way you try to play it cool

n.c.                         F                           Bb

I'm gonna say this just one time  Time is running out on you

Bb                        C7                        F

You best remember me my friend  I'm the cold hard truth

F                         C                           F  

You best remember my my friend   I am the cold hard truth
