Bb C Dm Am


[Verse 1]
               Bb            C
The second you offered me a ride
           Dm                        Am
I couldn't get the thought out of my mind
         Bb                C
Promises open when they're pried
            Dm                 Am
Up with the vapor of a week of sighs
                 Bb               C
The cards say "A change is coming near
         Dm              Am
And as a nestling on the bough
                Bb            C
The fool is the martyr of the now"


[Chorus]
                     Bb      C     G7sus2
Izzit true what they tell me?
                     Bb      C     Dm
Izzit true what they tell me?
      F              Bb      C     G7sus2
Izzit true what they tell me?
                     Bb      C     Dm   F
Izzit true what they tell me?


[Verse 2]
             Bb              C
Inviting you in a second time
         Dm                            Am
How your possessions were lighter than mine
                  Bb              C
And how we talked all through the night
               Dm                  Am
As if I'd have known you all of my life
              Bb              C
Touching your finger to my eye
              Dm              Am
How you prove the card was right
              Bb              C
That said you'd be all I have in sight


[Chorus]
                     Bb      C     G7sus2
Izzit true what they tell me?
                     Bb      C     Dm
Izzit true what they tell me?
      F              Bb      C     G7sus2
Izzit true what they tell me?
                     Bb      C     Dm   F
Izzit true what they tell me?


[Bridge 1]
Bb          C            Dm
Ay, is the lesson cast asunder

Oh, and you can't even know
Am
What kind of lack that you're leaving
Bb          C            Dm
Ay, want a rented bed of sorrow
                       Am
Oh in the lake and the forest

Go to hell, I adore you
Bb          C              Dm
Ay, ever-righteous call of thunder
                              Am
Oh, I don't know what to call it

But I know that you feel it
Bb          C            Dm
Ay, ever-wretched call of wonder
        Am
With no regrets...
Bb            C
Now I receive you on the day
Dm                  Am
I hide and seek you on the hour
(In time)
Bb             C
In odysseys of no and yes
Dm
Even now, as a witness...
Am               Bb
And even now...


[Verse 3]
C                      Dm
Am I a finch, am I the cage?
Am                        Bb
Oh, either way I couldn't care
C                         Dm
If you could see inside my head
Am                        Bb
Where every clock is stopped by you
C                   Dm
Like in some silent threat
Am                              Bb
Like I'm the one that should be careful
C                                 Dm
Though it never could've happened without you
Am                                       Bb
No, it never could have happened without you...


[Bridge 2]
Bb            C
Budding interrupted
Dm                  Am
In glory of their matching
Bb             C
Winding up the rope
Dm           Am
Together and alone
Bb        C
Tell me a story
Dm              Am
Leaving out the ending
Bb              C
I don't want to know
Dm                      Am
Whose heart was made to roam


[Chorus]
                     Bb      C     G7sus2
Izzit true what they tell me?
                     Bb      C     Dm
Izzit true what they tell me?
      F              Bb      C     G7sus2
Izzit true what they tell me?
                     Bb      C     Dm   F
Izzit true what they tell me?
