The Hollies


Tom: Em

INTRO: Em  C  G  D  Em  C  G  D
              Yeah

Em     C     G
Only a game
         D                  Em            C         G     D
Had no intention that would turn it up to something more
Em         C        G
I told the strange
           D             Em              C        G     D
If it gets serious, then I'll go running out that door


       C                    D             Em
'Cause I've been burned and found out the hard way
    C             D       Em
I'm trying not to get too close
  C      D            Em
I made a promise to myself
  A                 C
I swear, I'll never do it again


CHORUS:
  Em    C
I lied
       G          D     G       C
When I told you I never want to need
        G        D
Let you under my skin
  Em    C
I lied
       G           D     G       C
When I said I will never open my heart
        G      D
And let anyone in
 Am        C
Again, you win
  Em   C  Em  D  Em  C  G  D
I lied, ohhhhhh


Em       C     G
I didn't know
           D           Em           C      G     D
That I was open to the power of your tenderness
Em      C       G
I can't ignore
               D                    Em         C         G     D
This time it's different 'cause I'm finding it hard to resist


C                    D          Em
Truth is something I just can't hide from
    C               D       Em
I'm taking back the words I said
  C      D            Em
I made a promise to myself
  A                 C
I swear, I'll never do it again


CHORUS:
  Em    C
I lied
       G          D     G       C
When I told you I never want to need
        G        D
Let you under my skin
  Em    C
I lied
       G           D     G       C
When I said I will never open my heart
        G      D
And let anyone in
 Am        C
Again, you win
  Em   C  Em  D  Em  C  G  D
I lied, ohhhhhh


BRIDGE:
Am                   G
Truth is something I just can't hide from
    C                   Bm      Em
I'm taking back all the words I said
  Am                   G
I might get burned and find out the hard way
    C                       D  Em  C  G  D
Who cares? I'm gonna do it again____
       Em           C
