Verse 1

 [B]Lie num[B/A#]ber one: Yo[G#m]u're suppose[B/F#]d to h[Emaj7]ave it all[F#sus4] together
 And whe[B]n they as[B/A#]k how you're doing
 Jus[G#m]t smile and t[B/A#]ell them[Emaj7] "Never be[F#sus4]tter"
 [B]Lie num[B/A#]ber two:[G#m] Everybody's[B/A#] life is[Emaj7] perfect exc[F#sus4]ept yours

Pre-Chorus

 [E]But truth[F#] be tol[G#m]d, the tr[B/D#]uth is [E]rarely told

Chorus

I say, [B]"I'm fine, [F#/A#]yeah, I'm fi[G#m]ne, oh, I'm f[F#]ine, hey, I'm fine"
Bu[E]t I'm not[F#], I'm broken
   B   F#   G#m   F#/A#
And when it's out of control I say it's under control
Bu[E]t it's not a[F#]nd You know it
I[E] don't know why it's[F#] so hard to admit it
When b[G#m]eing honest[F#] is the [E]only way to fix it
There's[B] no fail[F#/A#]ure, no fall
There'[G#m]s no sin Yo[F#]u don[E]'t already know
So let[F#] the tr[B]uth [F#]be t[G#m]old[F#][E][F#]

Verse 2

 There'[B]s a sig[F#]n on the door, says,
[G#m]"Come as [F#]you are"[E] but I[F#] doubt it
 'Cause i[B]f we lived li[F#]ke that was true,
 Eve[G#m]ry Sunday [F#]morning [E]pew [F#]would be crowded
 [B]But did[F#]n't Y[G#m]ou say church should look
 [F#]More lik[E]e a ho[F#]spital?
 A sa[B]fe place [F#]for the[G#m] sick, the s[F#]inner and the scarred,
 And [E]the prodi[F#]gals like me

Pre-Chorus

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

Chorus

"I'[B]m fine, yea[F#]h, I'm fin[G#m]e, oh, I'm f[F#/A#]ine, hey, I'm fine"
Bu[E]t I'm not[F#], I'm broken
And when[B] it's o[F#]ut of cont[G#m]rol I say [F#/A#]it's under control
Bu[E]t it's not[F#] and You know it
I[E] don't know why it's[F#] so hard to admit it
When b[G#m]eing honest[F#] is the [E]only way to fix it
There's[B] no fail[F#]ure, no fall
There'[G#m]s no sin Yo[F#]u don[E]'t already know
So let[F#] the tr[E]uth be told

Bridge

Can I r[F#]eally sta[G#m]nd here unashamed
Knowing t[B]hat Your lo[E]ve for me won't change
Oh God,[F#] if that's really true
The[B]n l[F#]et t[G#m]he tru[F#]th [E]be t[F#]old

Chorus

I say, [B]"I'm fine, [F#]yeah, I'm [G#m]fine, oh, I'm[F#/A#] fine, hey, I'm fine"
Bu[E]t I'm not[F#], I'm broken
And when[B] it's o[F#]ut of cont[G#m]rol I say [F#/A#]it's under control
Bu[E]t it's not [F#]and You know it
I[E] don't know why it's[F#] so hard to admit it
When b[G#m]eing hones[F#]t is the[E] only way to fix it
There's[B] no fail[F#]ure, no fall
There'[G#m]s no sin Yo[F#]u don[E]'t already know
