Am Am
If it's true what they say
F F
If there's nothing to be done
Em Em
If it's true that it's too late
F F
And the girl I loved is gone
Am Am
If it's true what they say
F F
Is this how the world is?
Em Em G G
To be beaten and betrayed and then be told that nothing changes
F F
It'll always be like this?

Am Am F F
If it's true what they say
Am Am F F
I'll be on my way

And the boy turned to go
'Cause he thought no one could hear
But everybody knows that walls have ears

F F
And the workers heard him
Am Am
If its true what they say
F F
With their hammers swinging
Am Am
Whats the purpose of a man
Em Em
And they quit their working
Am Am
Just to turn his eyes away
F F
When they heard him singing
Am Am F F
Just to throw up both his hands?

No hammer swinging
Am Am
whats the use of his backbone?
F F
No pickax ringing
Am Am
if he never stands upright
Em Em
And they stood and listened
Am Am
If he turns his back on everyone
F F
to the poor boy singing
F F
that he could've stood beside



Am Am C C F F
If it's true what they say
Am Am F F
I'll be on my way
Am Am F F
But who are they to say
Em Em Am Am
What the truth is anyway

Am Am F F
Cause the ones who tell the lies
F F
Are the solemnest to swear
Em Em
And the ones who load the dice
F F
Always say the toss is fair
Am Am
And the ones who deal the cards
(Deal the cards)
F F
Are the ones who take the tricks
Em Em
With their hands over their hearts
F F
While we play the game they fix
Am Am
And the ones who speak the words
(Speak the words)
F F
Always say it is the last
Em Em
And no answer will be heard
F F
To the question no one asks

F F
So Im asking if its true
F F Am Am
Im asking me and you and you and you
G G
I believe our answer matters more than anything they say
(We stand stand and listen)

G G
I believe if there is still a will
Em Em
Then there is still a way
(We're standing with him)

Em Em
I believe there is a way
G G
I believe in us together
Am Am
More than anyone alone
(We're standing near him)

Am Am
I believe that with each other,
F F
we are stronger than we know
(We hear him)

F F G G
I believe we're stronger than they know
Am Am
I believe that we are many
F F
I believe that they are few
(We're standing)
Em Em
And it isn't for the few
Am Am F F
To tell the many what is true
(We understand him)


Am Am
So I ask you
F F
If It's true what they say
(We're standing)

Em Em
I'll be on my way
F F
Tell me what to do
G G Em Em
Is it true? Is it true what they say?
