Track 14 Tell It Like It Is

Chords and lyrics

Tell it like it is   (sort of boogie)

                   E

We live in sensitive times

F#                           G                 E

     I've got to watch my mouth

I choose a careless rhyme

F#                           G             E

     And it could all go south

        G                                          A

But think for a moment, think for a while

C                                                                D

     Are things just heading in a dangerous style

G                                                               G#            A

     Sometimes I think they just take the piss

C                                                                  D                                                                 E

Sorry for your feelings but sometimes you've got to tell it like it is

We live in sensitive times

And things can get intense

Although I never mean

To cause offence

Another thing that's worth a mention

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

I won't seal it with a traitor's kiss

Sorry for  your feelings but sometimes you've got to tell it like it is

G                                                               F#7

Don’t assume that everyone’s picking on you

G                                             F#7

That’s an egocentric thing to do

G                                             F#7

    So if the air starts turning blue

D                                                             E

      Keep you cool or you’re gonna get screwed

I've been through tougher times

I grew a thicker skin

Words can only hurt

If you let them in

Well sticks and stones can break my bones

Words cut through a different zone

But none the less you know I'm sure of this

Sorry for  your feelings but sometimes you've got to tell it like it is
