I Know the Truth
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Tim Rice
Available on the Album Aida
D - Em - D/F# - G - A7
Bm Em
How have I come to this
A D
How did I slip and fall
Gmaj7 A
How did I throw half a lifetime away
D G/D D A7/C#
Without any thought at all
This should've been my time
It's over, it never began
Facing a world, for once not on my side
I simply turned and ran
C/E D7/F# G
I try to blame it on fortune
A7/G F#m
Some kind of shift in the stars
Bm Em
But I know the truth and it haunts me
A7 D
I learned it a little too late
C/E D7/F# G
I know the truth and it mocks me
A7/G F# Bm
I know the truth and it shocks me
Em A G/D D
It's flown just a little too far
D - Em - D/F# - G - A7--demo version only
In AIDA soundtrack this point goes down 5 half steps
People have faith in me
I think I once did too
I promise whoever has a hold on our lives
I'll see the bad times through
This should have been my time
It's over, it never began
Facing a world, for once not on my side
I simply turned and ran
C/E D7/F G
I try to blame it on fortune
A/G F#m
Some kind of shift in the stars
Bm Em
But I know the truth and it haunts me
A D
It's flown just a little too far
C/E D7/F G
I know the truth and it mocks me
A/G F# Bm
I know the truth and it shocks me
Em A Dsus4 D
It's flown just a little, just a little too far
AIDA VERSION BACK TO NORMAL
C/E D7/F# G
I try to blame it on fortune
A7/G F#m
Some kind of twist in my fate
Bm Em
But I know the truth and it haunts me
A7 Dsus4 D
I learned it a little too late
C/E D7/F# G
I know the truth and it mocks me
A7/G F# Bm
I know the truth and it shocks me
Em A G/D D
It's flown just a little too far
Em - D/F# - G - A7 - D
