Verse 2: 
C7 
Tell it like it is 
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide 
But I... know deep down inside of me 
I believe you love me 
Forget your foolish pride 
Life is too short to have sorrow 
We may be here today and gone tomorrow 
You might as well get what you want 
So go on and live, baby go on and live 
Coda {repeat first half of verse 2}: 
Tell it like it is 
I'm nothing to play with 
Go and find yourself a toy 
But I... tell it like it is 
My time is too expensive 
And I'm not your little boy 
Tell it like it is... {fade}
