[Intro]
B  F#  G#m  F#  E   F#

[Verse 1]
B           F#             G#m
Lie number one: You're supposed
F#    E      F#
to have it all together
B              F#
And when they ask how you're doing
G#m                F#
Just smile and tell them
E       F#
"Never better"
B           F#        G#m
Lie number two: Everybody's life
F#        E          F#
is perfect except yours
B
So keep your messes and
F#              G#m
your wounds and your secrets safe
F#         E           F#
With you behind closed doors

[Pre-Chorus]
E             F#
But truth be told,
G#m             E
the truth is rarely told

[Chorus]
B               F#
I say, "I'm fine, yeah, I'm fine,
G#m            F#
oh, I'm fine, hey, I'm fine"
E              F#
But I'm not, I'm broken
B         F#
And when it's out of control
G#m        F#
I say it's under control
E                F#
But it's not and You know it
E
I don't know why it's so hard
F#
to admit it
G#m
When being honest is
F#          E
the only way to fix it
B           F#
There's no failure, no fall
G#m
There's no sin
F#      E
You don't already know
F#       B
So let the truth be told

[Instrumental]
B    F#   G#m   F#   E   F#

[Verse 2]
B           F#
There's a sign on the door, says,
G#m         F#         E       F#
"Come as you are" but I doubt it
B                   F#
'Cause if we lived like that was true,
G#m
Every Sunday morning
F#           E       F#
pew would be crowded
B           F#      G#m
But didn't You say church
F#          E       F#
should look more like a hospital?
B             F#
A safe place for the sick,
G#m            F#
the sinner and the scarred,
E              F#
And the prodigals like me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
E             F#
But truth be told,
G#m             E
the truth is rarely told
F#
Oh am I the only one who says:

[Chorus]
B               F#
I say, "I'm fine, yeah, I'm fine,
G#m            F#
oh, I'm fine, hey, I'm fine"
E              F#
But I'm not, I'm broken
B         F#
And when it's out of control
G#m        F#
I say it's under control
E                F#
But it's not and You know it
E
I don't know why it's so hard
F#
to admit it
G#m
When being honest is
F#          E
the only way to fix it
B           F#
There's no failure, no fall
G#m
There's no sin
F#      E
You don't already know
F#       B
So let the truth be told

[Bridge]
F#            G#m
Can I really stand here unashamed
B
Knowing that Your love
E
for me won't change
F#
Oh God, if that's really true
B   F#  G#m   F# E    F#
Then let the truth be told

[Chorus]
B               F#
I say, "I'm fine, yeah, I'm fine,
G#m            F#
oh, I'm fine, hey, I'm fine"
E              F#
But I'm not, I'm broken
B         F#
And when it's out of control
G#m        F#
I say it's under control
E                F#
But it's not and You know it
E
I don't know why it's so hard
F#
