Tom: Em
D G C D C G \
I can tell when you're telling lies; |
C Am D |
I can see it in your tired eyes. |
G C D C G |
I can tell when you're telling lies; \ CHORUS
C Am D / ~~~~~~
I can see it in your lack of surprise. |
Em C Am D |
I can see just where the truth doesn't lie, |
Em C Am D |
Watching you cut through the bind that ties. /
Em
Once upon a time, a story with a happy end,
C Am C D
But that's all in the past, that's all around the bend,
Em
You can't appease me now, those stupid things you said,
C Am C D
And you can't please me now, and we can't start again.
D C
There's too much history, there's no clean sheets,
D C
When I get to hear his story it puts my feet to sleep;
Am D D Em
It's automatic nothing 'bout a heart in a rage,
C Am C D
Murdered 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;
C Am C D
All his disarming charm and her unfaithful sighs.
Em
He's scouting for success, and she's his girl guide.
C Am C D
The day the die was cast, it was the day I died.
D C
Now your hits are up for grabs, now the chips are down,
D C
You could be jetting with the set instead of with that clown
Am D D Em
You wanted to be on a bridge; all bridges should be burned;
C Am C D
Sometimes you must re-cross and that's something you've never learned.
< C H O R U S >
B7
There are some tricks that you can't pull,
C Cmaj7 Am Am Am7 Am7
I mean the wool that is over my eyes.
D
That's what happens when looking for love
G C D
Becomes a game of I spy.
C Am \
I know you're combing someone's hair |
D Em |
Or someone's soothing you; \ DRUMS
C Cmaj7 Am / ONLY
A lie may well fool someone else |
C D |
But it tells the truth about you to you. So /
G C D C G
I can tell when you're telling lies;
C Am D
I can see it in your tired eyes.
G C D C G
I can tell when you're telling lies;
C Am D
I can see it in your lack of surprise;
G C D C G
I can tell when you're telling lies;
C Am
I can see it in your tired eyes.
G C D C G
I can tell where your talent lies;
C Am D
I can see it in your lack of surprise;
Em C Am D
I can see just where the truth doesn't lie
Em C Am D G
Watching you cut through the bind that ties.
