T. Graham Brown - I Tell It Like It Used to Be

      [Verse]
     D                                A 
They say that I'm the kind of man who always speaks his mind
   A7                                   D
To me there's nothing stronger then the truth.
        D                          A
You can ask me almost anything and I'll tell it like it is.
    A7                             D
But darlin' when they ask me about you.

[Chorus]
D7                G                                 D 
I tell it like it used to be when you were still in love with me
                   A         Bm               A
Before you got too used to me  and wanted someone new
                  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.

[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
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]
D7                G                                 D 
I tell it like it used to be when you were still in love with me
                   A         Bm               A
Before you got too used to me  and wanted someone new
                  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.

[Chorus]
D7                G                                 D 
I tell it like it used to be when you were still in love with me
                   A         Bm               A
Before you got too used to me  and wanted someone new
                  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.
