[Verse 1]
G D/F# F C
I gave you a hard time, I told you the news,
G D/F# F C
There's no “I'm sorry’s” 'cause there ain't no excuse,
G D/F# F C
The things I've been doin', the things that I say,
G D/F# F C
The road to ruin between you and me.

[Verse 2]
G D/F# F C
My reasons for cheating, I don't know what to say,
G D/F# F C
Maybe it's nature, havin' its way,
G D/F# F C
You know that I love you, but that's easy to say,
G D/F# F C
You'd make me proud of you if you would stay.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em G D
I promised you sunshine, I promised you you'd be all mine,
Am Em G D
Instead of the good times, a killer came and took you heart away.
[Chorus]
Am Em G D
I gave you hard times, baby, (. . .aah aah aah aaah aah aah),
Am Em G D
I told the truth and lies, (. . .aah aah aah aaah aah aah),
Am Em G D
Hmm, I gave you hard times, baby, (. . .aah aah aah aaah aah aah),
Am Em G C G Am G
I told the truth and lies, (. . .aah aah aah aaah aaah).
[Verse 2]
G D/F# F C
I was silly believing my lies could last,
G D/F# F C
'cause sooner or later the rumour would spread,
G D/F# F C
I often wonder how the things would be,
G D/F# F C
If you hadn't found out the truth about that girl and me.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em G D
Can't promise you sunshine, can't promise you you'll be all mine, woo ooh,
Am Em G D
I'll try to be honest, unlike the first time it won't slip my mind.
[Chorus]
Am Em G D
I gave you hard times, baby, (. . .aah aah aah aaah aah aah),
Am Em G D
I told the truth and lies, (. . .aah aah aah aaah aah aah),
Am Em G D
Hmm, I gave you hard times, baby, (. . .aah aah aah aaah aah aah),
Am Em G
I told the truth and lies, (. . .aah aah aah aaah aaah).

Told you truth and lies and lies and lies and lie-ies,
[Chorus]

D/F# F C
I look out the window, I watch the street kids grow,
G D/F# F C
Life was so easy when I was that old,
G D/F# F C
There were no lies, no things to be told,
G D/F# F C G C
Just lullabies and time to grow old.
