[Verse 1]
Fm A#
Baby everything about you is so perfect in the moment
C# C
I am really scared of knowing my infatuations growing
Fm
If experience has taught me anything that is in fact
A#
That perfection is just a myth
C# C
The only place that it exists are fairy tales and dreams of bliss
Fm A#
I Guess I’m happiest when falling cause it’s stalling reality
C# C
When I hit the ground my problems they are waiting there for me
Fm A#
But I am not naive its fate and I won’t try to fight
C# C
Baby all I ask of you is let’s not deal with this tonight
[Chorus]
G# C
Please lie to me if that’s what it takes to get me to sleep
Fm
ignorance is bliss that is what I think
C#m
I’ll do anything to remain in this dream... in this dream
G# C
Please lie to me if that’s what it takes to get me to sleep
Fm
ignorance is bliss that is what I think
C#m
I’ll do anything to remain in this dream... in this dream
[Verse 2]
Fm
It’s like I’m chasing a lie while you bask in the truth
A#
Like I’m Ponce de Leon and you’re the fountain of youth
C#
Like this crutch that holds me up is really a noose
C
Sometimes I feel like Clark Kent without a telephone booth
Fm
But it’s not a lie if it ain’t spoken out loud
A#
So I hold em in and I swallow it down
C#
Shit I hide from my peers I’ll scream in the crowd
C
After all it ain’t a family if I’m never around
Fm
It’s like I’m speaking of love but never knew what it was
A#
The Virgin Mary crying tears of blood
C#
Happiness I can’t find in a drug
C
It ain’t right but god damn it if it ain’t fun
Fm
It’s like I’m over my head I’m sinking just like a stone
A#
Driving by with no direction home
C#
Ten long years and I still haven’t grown
C
That shit follows me every place that I go so
[Chorus]
G# C
Please lie to me if that’s what it takes to get me to sleep
Fm
ignorance is bliss that is what I think
C#m
I’ll do anything to remain in this dream... in this dream
G# C
Please lie to me if that’s what it takes to get me to sleep
Fm
ignorance is bliss that is what I think
C#m
I’ll do anything to remain in this dream... in this dream
[G O]
[Chorus]
G# C
Please lie to me if that’s what it takes to get me to sleep
Fm
ignorance is bliss that is what I think
C#m
I’ll do anything to remain in this dream... in this dream [X2}
G# C
Please lie to me if that’s what it takes to get me to sleep
Fm
ignorance is bliss that is what I think
C#m
I’ll do anything to remain in this dream... in this dream
