Truth On My Side Lyrics - Aimee Mann

Pre> 

*** introduction: 

E / bm / f#m :|| 

*** verse 1: 

Well I guess you got your friend 

Some friend to take me down 

Was it getting on your nerves 

Just knowing I'm around 

It wasn't enough, it's never 

Enough for you to merely be unkind 

But turning the screw, here if I were you 

Might be a hobby not to find 

*** chorus: 

'cause I have got the truth on my side 

And that's the one thing you can't abide 

You couldn't make that scene if you tried 

Bearing down is easy, just a word and 

Watch your little house divide 

*** verse 2: 

I've got a little secret 

Others will concur 

Some people are too stupid 

As you thought they were 

Including of course, the one you were 

Rest assured would never make a stand 

But battles get lost, when one extra push 

Is all you need to tip your hand 

*** chorus: 

'cause I have got the truth on my side 

And that's the one thing you can't abide 

You couldn't make that scene if you tried 

Bearing down is easy, just a word and 

Watch your little house divide 

*** bridge: 

You better pray, the lies you have going 

Can keep from owing much more than you do 

'cause the debt just gets bigger 

And one day I figure 

Someone will be calling it due 

*** verse 4: 

(instrumental) 

. 

. 

. 

And I will admit, I'd like to commit to 

Tearing down [the wall] I see 

But why raise a hand, when I know the 

End is coming soon enough with-out me 

*** chorus: 

'cause I have got the truth on my side 

And that's the one thing you can't abide 

You couldn't make that scene if you tried 

Bearing down is easy, just a word and 

Watch your little house divide 

*** coda:
