Intro: F, C, F, C, F, C, Am


F                   C 
Does your conscience 
F                   C
keep you up at night?
F                        C
Did your bleeding heart pay 
Am
market price?
F                         C
There are rumors and suspicion
F                C
Tagged telephone lines
F                  C                   Am
Biblical conviction must have been the end of times.

Long white table linen
Where you placed your knife
And taking up important positions
With men of power and their wives
There’s no blue blood in the kitchen.
There’s no blue blood in the mines.
There’s no blue blood in a soldier’s coffee 
Coming home from the front lines.

              F                 C               
Don’t let the truth get to you.
              Em                Am
Don’t let the truth get to you.
              F                  C                          
Don’t let the truth get to you.
              G                 Am
Don’t let the truth get to you.

Continue pattern for second chorus


Preachers and politicians
Conjurers and liars
Scraps of elaborate excuses
And ivory towers

Who’s on television?
Not taking any sides
Modern journalism is just a little bit tongue tied.

And when the emperor’s new rhetoric
Rings hollow in the night
It’s just the redacted cadence of freedom losing its mind.

It’s the cost of doing business.
It’s a terrible price
When the change that caught you believing
Was just nickels and dimes.

Don’t let the truth get to you.
Don’t let the truth get to you.
Don’t let the truth get to you.
Don’t let the truth get to you.
