C 
Hope it be my mind don't slip 
G 
Sailing on a sinking ship 
F                    C 
Into the sunset in death 
C 
Dark night on a long highway 
G 
Good ol' lights in the houses say 
F                      C 
Somebody's staying up late 

   F          G 
Oh - I'll be true to you 
    C               F 
Oh yeah, you know I will 
F          G             C         F 
  I'll be true to you forever or until 
      C 
I go home 

C 
If I ever treated you mean 
    G                                    F 
You know that it was only because I was sorry 
                           C 
I couldn't have you for my own 

   C 
I guess it's sort of funny now 
G 
Sort of like a plastic putty 
  F                               C 
Imagination all twisted with the facts 

   F          G 
Oh - I'll be true to you 
    C               F 
Oh yeah, you know I will 
F          G             C         F 
  I'll be true to you forever or until 
      C 
I go home 

C 
I have a deep respect for you 
G 
Usually reserved for the dead 
F                              C 
Hangin' on every word that you said 
C 
So nice to have a friend like you 
G 
Even though you're not around 
F                        C 
You're closer to me than most 
    C 
But kids say the darndest things 
G 
Hollow hopes and golden dreams 
         F                    C 
Leave everything empty in the end 

   F          G 
Oh - I'll be true to you 
    C               F 
Oh yeah, you know I will 
F          G             C         F 
  I'll be true to you forever or until 
      C 
I go home 

C 
Hope it be my mind don't slip 
G 
Sailing on a sinking ship 
F                   C 
Into the sunset in death 
C 
Gee, it's great to be alive 
G 
Takes the skin right off my hide 
    F                                     C 
To think I'll have to give it all up some day 

   F          G 
Oh - I'll be true to you 
    C               F 
Oh yeah, you know I will 
F          G             C         F 
  I'll be true to you forever or until 
      C 
I go home
