Anything But The Truth by Jack Johnson






                   Anything But The Truth








The whole song is finger-picked...


Intro (Repeated Twice)
E           A           C#m            F#m
------------------------------------------2-------------------------|
--------0-------2h3----------5--------------------------------------|
----1h2--2----2-----2-------6---6-------2---2-----------------------|
--2----------2-------2-----6-----6-----4-----4----------------------|
---2--------0----------0s4------------------------------------------|
-0-----------------------------------2------------------------------|

Verse:

The finger pattern sounds the same as the intro but you don't play the hammer ons, so in 
verse play a normal A chord without hammering on to the 3rd on B for example...

In the verse the chords are the same:

 E, A, C#m, F#m played TWICE

Then you play this pattern( Which is F#m to A)TWICE after every verse ends:

------2----2----2----------5---5---5-------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
---2----2----2----2----2----2---2----2-----------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
----------------------0---0---0- 2----2----------------------------------|
-2---2----2--- 2---2-----------------------------------------------------|

Then its back to the verse again, its all the same chords repeated over and over....







If they tell me that the bees
Don't make honey anymore
What am I supposed to tell you
And if they tell me that the ocean
Is tired of her shores
Then tell me
What am I supposed to tell you
When I can't tell you anything
But the truth
I can't tell you anything
But the truth
What happens to an eagle's nest
In a storm
How does the mama
Keep the baby warm
What if the wind
Is telling us that it's time
And what if we're not ready to fly
Well I can't tell you anything
But the truth
I can't tell you anything
But the truth
Tree tops they touch the ground
In the morning walk with no sound
Hear no birds, hear no planes
Through the mud, feel the clay
Build it up, make it sing
Make it strong, give it wings
But I can't tell you anything
But the truth
And I can't tell you anything
But the truth
What is this place
Who am I
Why did we come here
What is this place
Who am I
Why did we come here
I don't know I don't know
But I don't know
That we're meant to know
I don't know I don't know
But I don't know
That we're meant to know

And if they tell me that the ocean

But the truth
I can't tell you anything
But the truth

And what if we're not ready to fly
Well I can't tell you anything

I don't know I don't know
But I don't know
That we're meant to know
I don't know I don't know
But I don't know
That we're meant to know
