My Naked Truth

My Naked Truth

Submitted by Kelly Young

(Verse 1)
E                            em
You wake to your world of splender
E                              em
I ache from feeling six feet down under
C                             d
Were different
E           em
So damn different

(Verse 2 )
E                                         em
You may have changed     Or rearranged
E                             em
Erase the vision of trying to be
C                           d
Were different
E
So damn different

(Chorus)
C
Every time I turn around to say that there is somthin on my mind
D
The past creeps up behind me, tapes my mouth shut,
A
,treats me like I’m blind
G                  A
This is my naked Truth
G                  A
This is my naked truth
C                 D             E        em
And I can’t stop thinking of you
E        em
Of you.

(Verse 3)
E                                                em
I might have torn  through the walls of my past
E                                em
And become more strong and steadfast
C                                  D
But I’ll never see through you, you’ll never see through me
E               em
Cause were different
E               em
So damn different

E       em
Sometimes the wave of life
E               em
It moves too quickly
C                         D
The days and the nights are almost waitin
E           em
For you to come along

(Chorus – same cords)
Every time I turn around to say, that there is somthin on my mind
The past creeps up behind me, tapes my mouth shut,
treats me like I’m blind
This is my naked Truth
This is my naked truth
And I can’t stop thinking of you

(Hook)
F                                        A
I know you can’t comprehend
F                                    A
This love that I feel for you, my friend

G                              A
So long ago, we thought we were safe
G                                 A
By the back of our hands, we held on to fate
G                        A
Not knowing the truth,  It hid its face

G                             A
Like the clouds in the sky, we cannot erase
E              em
Cuz were different
E               em
So damn different

(Repeat Chorus)

In Translation:

I was so inspired to write a song one day. A song that was going to change me, make me a better person and see people in a way I never thought I would. I was in deep thought about my life as a child and the trials and tribulations of growing up. Not only does this song reflect me, but also others in my life that greatly affected and influenced me in a positive way.

I realized in my life one day that everyone is their own person. Good or bad.  I had been through so much medical problems and became close to death. It made me realize that to judge people is not in my best interest, since I was trying to work on myself and my own issues, cause who am I to judge?

We are all different in this world. Our personalities, our obstacles, the way we treat people. People are a reflection of how they grew up. You can’t change people; you just need to accept them. I had to take a good look at myself before I could realize this. My naked truth was then revealed.

You picture a person with no clothes on their back, and look at them through the inside. The out side should mean absolutely nothing. But growing up in a town where you had to just look hot going to the supermarket was my life. As petty as it was….it was all I knew.

Then I moved to Arizona 6 years ago from Orange county, CA, and what a shocker. Small town Sierra Vista. Culture shock all the way. I grew to hate it. The people here seemed like they had a chip on their shoulder I had no real friends until 2 years ago when I decided to let go of the out side and reveal my naked truth.

No more pretending I had to be that perfect girl on the outside that was instilled in me my whole life. Once I learned to do this, I wrote my naked truth. This song changed my life. Everyone I believe can relate to it with their own experiences. Especially the world and all the junk that’s going on today with politics, the debate, etc.

This song has meaning and I hope it helps to inspire someone out their as the people in my life continue to inspire me. I am lucky. My heart, mind and soul are revealed…..no more hiding who I am. This is “My Naked Truth”.
