[ vocal only ]
[B7] You Don't know who I [E] am
But I know all about [A] you
I've come to talk to you [B7] tonight
About the things I've seen you [ E] do.
[ vocal only ]
[B7] I've come to set the record [E] straight
I've come to shine the light on [A] you
Let me introduce my [B7] self
I'm the cold hard [E] truth.
[ vocal only ]
[B7] There is a woman we both [E] know
I think you know the one I [A] mean
She gave her heart and soul to [B7] you
You gave her only broken [E] dreams
[ vocal only ]
[B7] You say your not the one to [E] blame
For all the heartaches she's been [A] though
I say you're nothing but a [B7] liar
And I'm the cold hard [E] truth.

[E7] All your life that's how it's [A] been
Lookin' out for number [E] one
Takin' more than you [B7] give
Movin' on when you're [E] done.
[E7] With her you could have had it [A] all
A family and love to [E] last
If you had any sense at [B7] all
You'de go and beg her to come [E] back.
[ vocal only ]
[B7] You think that you're a real [E] man
But you're nothing but a [A] fool
The way you run away from [B7] love
The way you try to play it [E] cool
[ vocal only ]
[B7] I'm gonna say this just one [E] time
Time is running out on [A] you
You best remember me my [B7] friend
I am the cold hard [E] truth.
You best remember me my [B7] friend
I am the cold hard [E] truth.
