[Intro] Bbm Gb Fm Gb [Verse 1] Bbm If it's true what they say Gb If there's nothing to be done Fm If it's true that it's too late Gb And the girl I love is gone Bbm If it's true what they say Gb Is this how the world is? Fm Gb To be beaten and betrayed And then be told that nothing changes? Bbm It'll always be like this [Chorus] Ab Gb If it's true what they say Bbm Ab Gb I'll be on my way [Verse 2] Bbm Ab Gb And the boy turned to go Bbm Ab Gb 'Cause he thought no one could hear Bbm Ab Gb Fm But everybody knows that walls have ears Bbm And the workers heard him (If it's true what they say) Gb With their hammers swinging (What's the purpose of a man?) Fm And they quit their workin' (Just to turn his eyes away?) Gb When they heard him singing (Just to throw up both his hands?) Bbm No hammer swinging (What's the use of his backbone) Gb No pickaxe ringin' (If he never stands upright?) Fm And they stood and listened (If he turns his back on everyone) Gb To the poor boy singing Bbm (That he could've stood beside) [Chorus] Ab Gb If it's true what they say Bbm Ab Gb I'll be on my way Bbm Ab Gb But who are they to say Fm Bbm What the truth is anyway? [Verse 3] (Bbm) 'Cause the ones who tell the lies Gb Are the solemnest to swear Fm And the ones who load the dice Gb Gb/Ab Always say the toss is fair Bbm And the ones who deal the cards Gb Are the ones who take the tricks Fm With their hands over their hearts Gb While we play the game they fix Bbm And the ones who speak the word Gb Always say it is the last Fm And no answer will be heard Gb To the question no one asks [Chorus] Bbm Ab Gb So I'm askin' if it's true Bbm Ab Gb I'm askin' me and you Fm And you and you [Outro] Bbm I believe our answer matters more than anything they say Db (We stand and listen) Fm I believe if there is still a will Then there is still a way Gb (We're standing with him) I believe there is a way Bbm I believe in us together More than anyone alone Db (We're standing near him) Fm I believe that with each other we are stronger than we know Gb (We hear him) I believe we're stronger than they know Bbm I believe that we are many I believe that they are few Db (We're standin', standin', standin') B And it isn't for the few To tell the many what is true Gb (We understand him) So I ask you: Bbm If it's true what they say Db I'll be on my way B Tell me what to do Gb Is it true? Bbm Is it true what they say?
