The Truth by India Arie

I this played along with the song and it sounds really good.  I'm not to sure about the
bridge...but it sounds ok.

*same for the whole song (until bridge)*

Let me tell you why I love him (spoken)

Chorus:
Cause he is the truth, said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him 
Then I must be fly because his light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie(no)

Verse 1:
I remember the very first day that I saw him
I found myself immediately intrigued by him
It's almost like I knew this man from another life
Like back then maybe I was his husband maybe he was my wife
And even,things I don't like about him are fine with me 
Cause it's not hard for me to understand him cause he's so much like me 
And it's truly my pleasure to share his company
And I know that it's God's gift to breathe
The air he breathes

Chorus:
Cause he is the truth, said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him 
Then I must be fly because his light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie(no)

Verse 2:
How can the same man that makes me so mad (Do you know what he did?)
Turn right around and kiss me so soft (Girl do you know what he did?)
If he ever left me I wouldn't even be sad no
Cause there's a blessin' in every lesson and I'm glad that I knew him at all

Chorus:
Cause he is the truth, said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him 
Then I must be fly because his light it shines so bright(no)

Bridge:
           Am
I love the way he speaks
           Am7
I love the way he thinks
           Am7
I love the way that he treats his mama
            Dm
I love that gap in between his teeth
              Am
I love him in every way 
       Am7
that a woman can love a man
     Am7            Dm         Am7        
From personal to universal but most of all
          Dm
It's unconditional

You know what I'm talking about-(Spoken)
That's the way I feel
And I always will-(Spoken)

There ain't no substitute for the truth
Either it is or isn't
(Cause he is the truth)
You see the truth it needs no proof
Either it is or it isn't
(Cause he is the truth)
Now you know the truth by the way it feels
And if I am a reflection of him 
Then I must be fly because he is, yes he is
I wonder does he know

ENJOY! Smiles for Miles!!! riaanne22 (AKA Ria)
