True Story

(início)

G                B      C         G
Rolled on out of Motown back in '91
G                Em              D7             D
Left them bitter winters for the Florida summer sun
G                  G7
Breakin' hearts in theme parks
C          Cm                G            D7
        G (riff)
Smiled for anyone who held a camera to my face and said "Say cheese!"
G               B            C             G
Wound up on the telly With a twinkle in my eye
G           Em                   D7             D
Twinkle disappeared the night I started gettin' high
G                     G7
And everything seemed so absurd
C                  Cm               G
Until the night I finally heard the sound of Coltrane
D7                  G (riff)
It brought me to my knees
CHORUS
          D                               C
There's a long drive straight through the night
                G                      D7
Starin' out the window Lookin' for the first signs of daylight
    G                   C
Just hold on tight With all of your might
       G                 D7              G (riff)
See it takes the time it takes to get it right
     G                  B                C            G
So I peddled across the country Wound up here in Hollywood
G                   Em                D7         D
Left my high school sweetheart when I realized I could
G            G7
She became a movie star
     C                Cm              G
D7               G (riff)
I've took to sleepin' in my car Still singin' songs about her to this day
G               B             C            G
Drove myself to New York City Chasin' love again
G               Em               D7              D
She moved me to tears and then I wound up movin' in
G                  G7
That Apple got the best of me
   C               Cm               G
D7           G (riff)
So I packed up the rest of me And I grabbed a cab, said "Straight to JFK!"
CHORUS
          D                               C
There's a long drive straight through the night
                G                      D7
Starin' out the window Lookin' for the first signs of daylight
     G                  C
Just hold on tight With all of your might
       G                 D7              G (riff)
See it takes the time it takes to get it right
G               B              C            G
Now I'm back in Hollywood This guitar in my hand
      G             Em               D7         D
These days I'm only using words that I can understand
G                   G7
Singin' songs, I'll carry on
     C               Cm                 G        D7
            G (riff)
Keep at it until I'm dead and gone Then maybe my gravestone will say
CHORUS
          D                               C
There's a long drive straight through the night
                G                      D7
Starin' out the window Lookin' for the first signs of daylight
     G                  C
Just hold on tight With all of your might
       G                 D7              G (riff)
See it takes the time it takes to get it right
       G                 D7              G
See it takes the time it takes to get it right (Third time's the charm)
            G                 D7              G (riff)
They say it takes the time it takes to get it right
