Let The Truth Sting Chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]
[D][G][D][Em]

[Verse 1]
[D]The
hour is out of joint
Black sun has risen
And the river of words
Is flowing on through
[Em]The cages of tradition
And they're [D]handing out emptiness
We'll take it 'cause it's given
Free with this plastic innocence
[Em]And these standards of living
[D]

[Verse 2]
Questions lighted questions
Burnin' holes into my head
Hanging like shadows o'er the sun
Staring [Em]out like the eyes of the dead
And [D]sometimes my soul flickers
When the wind of change blows cold
Over the mire of repetition
Down the cor[Em]ridors of rigmarole

[Verse 3]
What I say, [A]what I think
What I put down in ink
[G]I'm only trying[F] to find a w[D]ay to
[C]understand[Em]
And I mean no [A]harm
I'm just searching [E]for calm
[G]In the storm of mankind
[D]

[Verse 4]
Do you find it there
In the sea of faces
That drowns you everyday
Or in the silence and rubble
and empty spaces
Where [Em]children and rottweilers play
Is it [D]buried in the praise
Given so cheap
With a meaningless
movement of the jaws
In the looking glass
That flatters you
Or in the [Em]rattle of hollow applause

[Verse 5]
Blind circle, moon [A]and sun body willing,
mind [G]undone
One pain [F]ending while an
[D]other [C]begins[Em]
Lies, ruin [A]disease
Into wounds like [E]these
Let the [G]truth sting
[D]

[Verse 6]
[C]
From the hub to the limit
[D]Through the urban hollows
[C]Out into the poles of [D]the extreme
To [C]echo through the numbness
Of these [D]godless minutes
In the [E]shadow of delusion's re
[A]gime[G]
And here [D]watching the night As it opens

[Verse 7]
[D]
like a flower
And the day starts to rust
Feeling time pound
Like a silent hammer
On this em[G]pire of dust
And I'm think[D]ing bout the bullet
And the TV screen, the dollar,
and the clenched fist
And if we're searching for peace
How come we still believe
[Em]In hatred as the catalyst

[Verse 8]
Oh through the [A]borderline
In front [G]and behind
One pain [F]ending
While an[D]other [C]begin[Em]
Lies, ruin [A]disease
Into wounds like [E]these
Let the [G]truth sing
[D]Yea[E]h
Let the [G]truth

[Verse 9]
[D]And I feel it from the pit of my stomach
Into the ditch of my mind
[Em]Inside [D]the chambers of my heart
[Em]As I stare half blind
At these [D]walls of cardboard
[Em]At t[D]his space that I've rented
[Em]At your beau[D]ty that is crumbling
Though you [Em]try so hard to prevent it

[Verse 10]
On and [A]on
Body willing, mind [G]undone
One pain [F]ending while an
[D]other [C]begins[Em]
Lies, ruin, [A]disease
Into wounds like [E]these
Let the [G]truth [D]sting[E]
Let the [G]truth [D]sting[E]
Let the [G]truth [D]sti[E]ng[G]

[Outro 1]
