I can tell when you're telling lies; |
C Am DI can see it in your tired eyes. |
I can tell when you're telling lies; \ CHORUS
C Am D / ~~~~~~
I can see it in your lack of surprise. |
Em C Am DI can see just where the truth doesn't lie, |
Watching you cut through the bind that ties. /
Once upon a time, a story with a happy end,
C Am C DBut that's all in the past, that's all around the bend,
EmYou can't appease me now, those stupid things you said,
And you can't please me now, and we can't start again.
D CThere's too much history, there's no clean sheets,
D CWhen I get to hear his story it puts my feet to sleep;
It's automatic nothing 'bout a heart in a rage,
C Am C DMurdered by some cartoon villain who ripped out the last page.
< C H O R U S >
Em
Happy ever after, prince apparent and his bride;
All his disarming charm and her unfaithful sighs.
EmHe's scouting for success, and she's his girl guide.
C Am C DThe day the die was cast, it was the day I died.
Now your hits are up for grabs, now the chips are down,
D CYou could be jetting with the set instead of with that clown
Am D D EmYou wanted to be on a bridge; all bridges should be burned;
Sometimes you must re-cross and that's something you've never learned.
< C H O R U S >

There are some tricks that you can't pull,
C Cmaj7 Am Am Am7 Am7I mean the wool that is over my eyes.
That's what happens when looking for love
G C DBecomes a game of I spy.
C AmI know you're combing someone's hair |
Or someone's soothing you; \ DRUMS
C Cmaj7 Am / ONLY
A lie may well fool someone else |
C DBut it tells the truth about you to you. So /
