George Jones - Cold Hard Truth (1999) by George Jones (보컬) on maniadb.com

I've had choices
Since the day that I was born
There were voices
That told me right from wrong
If I had listened
No I wouldn't be here today
Living and dying
With the choices I made

I was tempted
By an early age I found
I liked drinkin'
Oh, and I never turned it down
There were loved ones
But I turned them all away
Now I'm living and dying
With the choices I made

(Repeat Chorus)

I guess I'm payin'
For the things that I have done
If I could go back
Oh, Lord knows I'd run
But I'm still losin'
This game of life I play
Living and dying
With the choices I made

(Repeat Chorus)

Living and dying
With the choices I made

[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.

Verse 1
G C/G G C/G G
The morning we moved in this house you said let's make a bed of roses
Dsus2 D G D
So hand in hand we found that special place and I broke the ground
G C/G G C/G G
I wiped that delta dirt from your face as you knelt there to sow them
Am D G (Dsus2 Gsus4)
Oh, I'd give anything a mortal man could give if you could see them now

Chorus
C G C/G G
Through the kitchen windowpane, I can see the roses
D G
The ones we planted that first spring are blooming like they did when you were here
C G Em
Someone's always left behind when the door of this life closes
Am D C/G G
So I sit alone and watch it rain on our bed of roses

(Modulate half step up to A, capo 2nd fret)
Verse 2
Some days I sit for hours at the time, just stirring at those roses
They seem so young and full of life, but soon they'll face the winter chill
I don't know how long I can survive, but one thing that I know is
Come sping time the roses will return, but you never will

Chorus
Through the kitchen windowpane, Lord, I can see the roses
The ones we planted that first spring are blooming like they did when you were here
Someone's always left behind when the door of this life closes
So I sit alone and watch it rain on our bed of roses
So I sit alone and watch it rain on our bed of roses

THIS WANTING YOU
WRITERS BRUCE BURCH, BRUCE COUTON, T. GRAHAM BROWN

[G] I almost wish that I could lose my [C] mind sometime. Then [D7] maybe I'd be free of memories [C] you left be- [G] hind. With every single thought I hate to [C] face the truth. [D7] It's neverending, always there: this [C] wanting [G] you [G] Will I go through my life with only [C] one desire? [D7] Other arms have held me close, but they can't [C] kill the [G] fire. This flame inside my heart has never [C] burned so blue. [D7] It's neverending, always there: this [C] wanting [G] you. [D7] You're in my mind all the time--how [C] long will it [G] last? [F#] Why can't I leave our love in peace? It's buried in the [D7] past. [G] You let go so long ago, but I still [C] can't turn loose. [D7] Oh, it's neverending; it's always there: this [C] wanting [G] you. It's neverending, always there: this wanting you.
