Foster the People - The Truth: chords

     G#                   Fm
Well I've been trying to re-learn my name
   D#            G#
It seems like a thousand years
     Fm                         D#
I've been out of frame and I surrender
     G#
The truth is what
          Fm
What I've needed from you
D#          G#                  Fm
I've been floating within your walls of opinion
D#       G#
And I'm tired - I only want the truth

Chorus:
C#
(I have tried so hard not to be like them
G#                                G#/C
I have found they don't ever say what they mean)
C#                           Fm   G#
There is a truth, there is a light
A#m                 G#
If you'd follow me there
C#
(I've been searching for the directions and
G#                                     G#/C
I'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needs)
C#                        Fm      G#
There is a hope for the hopeless
A#m                G#
I can promise you that

Yeah, well, I've been accosted, the jury's been partial
But I won't surrender to prove to you I won't lie
Under pressure of compromise
Yeah, well, an absolute measure won't change with opinion
No matter how hard you try
It's an immovable thing
Just like the visions in your bed
Or when they're streaming in your head

Chorus:
I have tried so hard not to be like them
I have found they don't ever say what they mean
There is a truth, there is a light if you'd follow me there
I've been searching for the directions and
I'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needs
There is a hope, and I'll come back

          C#
If you're leading my hand
The world is so broken
     G#
I'm tripping my steps
                 G#/C    C#
I'm slipping and I know why
                             Fm G# A#m
I never thought that I'd be here
            G#            C#
A blinding call to prayer has touched my feet
Like the call of the prophets
   G#                                 G#/C      C#
A purpose is needed before you know that you know
                          Fm  G#
To never wonder what you are
    A#m                          G#
And not forget where you come from

G#            C#                       G#/C
Is it really love you've been speaking of?
     D#               G#
Uh? What'd you say? What'd you say?
C#                           G#/C
What'd you say? Yeah, yeah, yeah
     D#
Oh, what'd you say?
G#
I said that you need me, don't you?

            Fm  G#
There is a truth
A#m                G#
I can promise you that
C#
(I have tried so hard not to be like them
G#                                G#/C
I have found they don't ever say what they mean)
C#   Fm  G#  A#m

G#   C#
The truth
     G#             G#/C C#
The truth stands in the end
