James Arthur - The Truth Chords

[verse 1]
Bm                              G            D
 It was good to be there in the bright lights, mmm
Bm                                 G       D
 But I lost good friends under the spotlight, woah
Bm                    G             D
 Imagine if everybody knew your name
              Bm
 But they had nothing nice to say,
G                   D
 nothing nice to say
Bm                               G        D
 It was good to be living up the high life, woah
Bm                                G         D
 But the comedown's harder in the headlines, woah
Bm                               G          D
 Everybody tells you, you should play the game
             Bm
 But there's only you to play,
G                    D
 there's only you to play
       Em      G
 But I tried

[chorus]
                  Bm
I set fire to the glory
                  G
I set fire to the dream
                  D
I set fire to the only thing
                     A
That led me from the streets
                   Bm
Don't tell me it's over,
                      G
cause I don't want to believe
                         D
Cause now I've opened my eyes
                          A
and I have found a way to breathe
                  Bm
The truth sets me free

[verse 2]
Bm                         G           D
 I broke my back to make a breakthrough, mmm
Bm                            G       D
 I lost my mind, look what it came to, oh
Bm                               G         D
 I had to lose it all so I could understand, woah
Bm                       G          D
 I was just a boy in the shadow of a man

[chorus]
                  Bm
I set fire to the glory
                   G
I set fire to the dream
                  D
I set fire to the only thing
                     A
That led me from the streets
                   Bm
Don't tell me it's over,
                          G
cause I don't want to believe
                         D
Cause now I've opened my eyes
                         A
And I have found a way to breathe
                      Em      Bm
Oh, the truth sets me free
                      Em      G
Oh, the truth sets me free

[chorus]
                  Bm
I set fire to the glory
                  G
I set fire to the dream
                  D
I set fire to the only thing
                     A
That led me from the streets
                   Bm
Don't tell me it's over
                G
I don't want to believe
                         D
Cause now I've opened my eyes
                          A
and I have found a way to breathe
                      Bm     G
Oh, the truth sets me free
                      D      A
Oh, the truth sets me free
                      Bm     G
Oh, the truth sets me free
                      D       A
Oh, the truth sets me free
           Bm
It sets me free
