Choking on the Truth - Bif Naked

[note: I'm not sure about the lyrics, as they were hard for me to hear, but I did my best]

play B as x244xx

INTRO:
Em-D-B-C (2x)

VERSE:

Em-G-B-D
Em-Cmaj7-B-D
Em-G-B-D
Em-Cmaj7-B-D

Sucking on a sucker, running down the alley way of worthlessness
it's dusk, the lovely pink sky hits me
I'm thinking of you when there's candy on my tongue
I throw a rock in the air but it doesn't go anywhere like my spinning wheels
wear a vest, stand up
this sugary lump, it seems to be larger than the center of a lifeboat

CHORUS:
C
D
C
D

Choking on the truth (4x)
I thought it was my candy but I'm choking on the truth

VERSE:
Discreetly I try to cough it out, try to scream and shout
everchanging flights of ideas, my life is surely flashing right before my eyes
You have a way, you startled me, I laugh,
I face reality, this is a pill of strong will
and that you intended so hard to swallow

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
[Em}
I am hones[D]ty and this is [Em]hard, 
you're every[D]thing I ever {Em]want
Your memo[D]ry is sweet can[C]dy
flavors fad[D]ing away 

VERSE 

Em-G-B-D
Em-Cmaj7-B-D...

Sucking on a sucker, running down the alley
running over all the things I could have done differently
You were mean to me, I didn't mean to be so real, so pure, and honest and simple 
and you make me sad, you make me mad, you're making me choke

CHORUS REPEATS

end on E
