Verse 1:

B F# G#m F# E F# Lie number one: You're supposed to have it all together B F# And when they ask how you're doing G#m F# E F# Just smile and tell them 'Never better' B F# G#m F# E F# Lie number two: Everybody's life is perfect except yours B F# G#m So keep your messes and your wounds and your secrets safe F# E F# With you behind closed doors

Pre-Chorus

E F# G#m E But truth be told, the truth is rarely told
B F# G#m F# I say, 'I'm fine, yeah, I'm fine, oh, I'm fine, hey, I'm fine' E F# But I'm not, I'm broken B F# G#m F# And when it's out of control I say it's under control E F# But it's not and You know it E F# I don't know why it's so hard to admit it G#m F# E When being honest is the only way to fix it B F# There's no failure, no fall G#m F# E There's no sin You don't already know F# B F# G#m F# E F# So let the truth be told

Verse 2:

B F# There's a sign on the door, says, G#m F# E F# 'Come as you are' but I doubt it B F# 'Cause if we lived like that was true, G#m F# E F# Every Sunday morning pew would be crowded B F# G#m But didn't You say church should look F# E F# More like a hospital? B F# G#m F# A safe place for the sick, the sinner and the scarred, E F# And the prodigals like me

Pre-Chorus

B F# G#m F# 'I'm fine, yeah, I'm fine, oh, I'm fine, hey, I'm fine' E F# But I'm not, I'm broken B F# G#m F# And when it's out of control I say it's under control E F# But it's not and You know it E F# I don't know why it's so hard to admit it G#m F# E When being honest is the only way to fix it B F# There's no failure, no fall G#m F# E There's no sin You don't already know F# E So let the truth be told

Bridge:

F# G#m Can I really stand here unashamed B E Knowing that Your love for me won't change F# Oh God, if that's really true B F# G#m F# E F# Then let the truth be told
B F# G#m F# I say, 'I'm fine, yeah, I'm fine, oh, I'm fine, hey, I'm fine' E F# But I'm not, I'm broken B F# G#m F# And when it's out of control I say it's under control E F# But it's not and You know it E F# I don't know why it's so hard to admit it G#m F# E When being honest is the only way to fix it B F# There's no failure, no fall G#m F# E There's no sin You don't already know F# Yeah I know B F# There's no failure, no fall G#m F# E There's no sin You don't already know F# B So let the truth be told
