Truth is Shorter than Fiction
(c) 2011 Eddie Minyard (BMI)
[C]Well don’t it make you wanna cry
When you look in your baby’s eyes
And you see that great big lie
[G7] looking back at you?
[G7] When you ask her “where you been?”
And the story starts to spin
You’re thinkin “here we go again”
[G7] “can’t she just tell the truth?”
[F] When her alibi gets longer
[C] Than a Baptist Benediction
[F] You know there must be somethin’ wrong here
Cause [G] truth is shorter than [C] fiction
[F] Truth is shorter –and it’s[C] easier to learn
[F] Comes straight at ya man –there [G] ain’t no twists and turns
You [Am] don’t have to worry bout that[F] random contradiction
Cause [G] Truth is Shorter Than [C] Fiction
Yeah [G] Truth is Shorter Than [C] Fiction
Break
[C]So when she’s been out way to long
And you know she’s done you wrong
And the tales she tells are longer
[G7] Than a lonesome night
[G7] Just tell that woman to her face
She’d better find another place
Find another heart to break
[G7] with all her lies
[F] So when her alibi gets longer
[C] than a Baptist Benediction
[F] Just recall my little song, sir
[G]Remember, truth is shorter than [C] fiction
[F] Truth is shorter –and it’s[C] easier to learn
[F] Comes straight at ya man –there [G] ain’t no twists and turns
You [Am] don’t have to worry bout that[F] random contradiction
Cause [G] Truth is Shorter Than [C] Fiction
Yeah [G] Truth is Shorter Than [C] Fiction
