                               C
Let me tell you why I love him ■
          Am7         
'cause he is the truth
G          Dm      C
Said he is so real ■
               G                 Dm C   
And I love the way that he makes me feel
              G7            C   Dm
And if I am a reflection of him ■ 
C              Am         G   C               Dm       
Then I must be fly 'cause his light it shines so bright
  C        E     
I wouldn't lie no
  Am           G                            
I remember the very first day that I saw him
               G                           
I found myself immediately intrigued by him
                   G7                             
It's almost like I knew this man from another life
          C                                                  
Like back ■ then maybe I was his husband maybe he was my wife
                      G                                  C 
And even the things I don't like about him are fine with me
            A7                 G             
'cause it's not hard for me to understand him
                         C 
'cause he's so much like me
                                        G7     
And it's truly my pleasure to share his company
      Am                                                      
And I know that it's God's gift to breathe the air he breathes


[Chorus]
                 G    
'cause he is the truth
           Dm     
Said he is so real
C          Am  G                 Dm      C
And I love the way that he makes me feel ■
       Dm     G             Dm 
And if I am a reflection of him
C                 
Then I must be fly
Am          C               Dm       
Because his light it shines so bright
  C               Am
I wouldn't lie no oh
G   Dm7 Am Am7 G Am7                       G              
How ■   ■  ■   ■ ■   can the same man that makes me so mad


[Verse]
                      G              
Turn right around and kiss me so soft
                                          C 
If he ever left me I wouldn't even be sad no
                                   G     
'cause there's a blessing in every lesson
        G7                      Dm 
And I'm glad that I know him at all


[Chorus]
                 G    
'cause he is the truth
           Dm     
Said he is so real
C                  G             Dm      C
And I love the way that he makes me feel ■
              G7            Dm 
And if I am a reflection of him
C              Am 
Then I must be fly
G                           F           
Because his light it shines so bright oh
                  Am    
I love the way he speaks
                  G     
I love the way he thinks
               G                      
I love the way that he treats his mama
                   Bbmaj7      Dm   
I love that gap in between his teeth
            Am                     G             
Love him in every way that a woman can love a man
     Dm                   
From personal to universal
    C       F                     
But most of all it's unconditional
                                Am
You know what I'm talking about ■ 
G            Dm        
■ That's the way I feel
C   G   Dm          C
And ■ I always will ■
      Am                  G            
There ain't no substitute for the truth
Dm           C                                 
Either it is or it isn't 'cause he is the truth
Am                         G       
You see the truth it needs no proof
Dm           C                                 
Either it is or it isn't 'cause he is the truth
Am                        G          Dm   
And you know the truth by the way it feels
C        Dm     G             Dm 
■ And if I am a reflection of him
C              A7 
Then I must be fly
G                 Dm   
Because he is yes he is
G                    
I wonder does he know
