I Tell It Like It Used To Be Cifras

I TELL IT LIKE IT USED TO BE
T. Graham Brown
 
[Intro]
N.C. D - G  - D  - A  - A7
 
[Verse]
     D                                 A
They say that I'm the kind of man who always speaks my mind.
                      A7                D
To me there's nothing stronger then the truth.
         D                          A                    A7
They can ask me almost anything and I'll tell it like it is.
    A7                             D
But darlin' when they ask me about you.
 
[Chorus]
N.C.              G                                   D
I tell it like it used to be...When you were still in love with me
                  A         E7                     A
Before you got to use to me.....and wanted someone new
N.C.              G                                   D
I tell it like it ought to be....'cause how it is, is killing me.
                    A              G               A       D
When they ask about you and me...I tell it like it used to be.
 
[Instrumental]
D - G  - D  - A  - A7
 
[Verse]
  D                                   A
I wish that I was stronger... I could tell them that you've gone.
    A7                                D
But that's one thing that I may never do
        D                               A               A7
If they want to hear about our love and how it all went wrong.
     A7                                   D
Then darlin' they?ll just have to talk to you.
 
[Chorus]
N.C.              G                                   D
I tell it like it used to be...When you were still in love with me
                  A         E7                     A
Before you got to use to me.....and wanted someone new
N.C.                G                                 D
I tell it like it ought to be....'cause how it is, is killing me.
                    A              G               A       D7
When they ask about you and me...I tell it like it used to be.
 
[Chorus]
N.C.              G                                   D
I tell it like it used to be...When you were still in love with me
                  A         E7                     A
Before you got to use to me.....and wanted someone new
  D               G                                  D    (Recording fades)
I tell it like it ought to be....'cause how it is,is killing me.
                    A              G               A       D
When they ask about you and me...I tell it like it used to be.
