1 Hope it be my mind don't slip
            G     F          C
Sailing on a sinking ship
   G        F             C
Into the sunset in death
                  G     F            C
Dark night on a long highway
         G                 F           C
Good ol' lights in the houses say
         G         F               C
Somebody's staying up late


      G      C       F
Oh - I'll be true to you
      G       C              F   
Oh yeah, you know I will
C                  F 
I'll be true to you forever or until
C                
I go home
 
2 If I ever treated you mean
You know that it was only because I was sorry
I couldn't have you for my own
 
I guess it's sort of funny now
Sort of like a plastic putty
Imagination all twisted with the facts
 
Oh - I'll be true to you
Oh yeah, you know I will
I'll be true to you forever or until
I go home
 
3 I have a deep respect for you
Usually reserved for the dead
Hangin' on every word that you said
 
So nice to have a friend like you
Even though you're not around
You're closer to me than most
 
But kids say the darndest things
Hallow hopes and golden dreams
Leave everything empty in the end
 
Oh - I'll be true to you
Oh yeah, you know I will
I'll be true to you forever or until
I go home
 
4 Hope it be my mind don't slip
Sailing on a sinking ship
Into the sunset in death
 
Gee, it's great to be alive
Takes the skin right off my hide
To think I'll have to give it all up some day


Oh - but I'll be true to you
Oh yeah, you know I will
I'll be true to you forever or until
I go home
