Tom: Am
Am F C G
On the first page of our story, the future seemed so bright
Am F C G
then this thing turned out so evil, I don't know why I'm still surprised
Am F Cadd9 G
even angels have their wicked schemes and you take that to new extremes
Am F C G
but you'll always be my hero, even though you lost your mind
[Chorus]
Am F C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn, but that's alright
G Am F
because I like the way it hurts. Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
Cadd9 G
but that's alright because I love the way you lie...love the way you
Am F C G
lie...ooh, love the way you lie!
[Verse 2]
Am F C G
Now there's gravel in our voices, glasses shattered from the fight
Am F C G
In this tug of war, you'll always win, even, when I'm right
Am F Cadd9 G
Coz you feed me fables from your hands. the violent words and empty threats,
Am F C G
and it's sick that all these battles are what keeps me satisfied.
[Chorus]
Am F C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn, but that's alright
G Am F
because I like the way it hurts. Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
Cadd9 G
but that's alright because I love the way you lie....love the way you
Am F C G
lie...ooh, love the way you lie!
Em Em7 Am Em Em7 F Em
So maybe I'm a masochist, I try to run, but I don't wanna ever leave!
Em7 Am Em Em7 G
Till the walls are goin' up in smoke with all our memories...
Am
It's mornin', you wake, a sunray hits your face
F
Smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
C
Hush baby, speak softly, tell me you're awfully sorry
G
That you pushed me into the coffee table last night
So I can push you off me
Am
Try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
F
Run out the room and I'll follow you like a lost puppy
C
Baby, without you I'm nothing, I'm so lost, hug me
G
Then tell me how ugly I am, but that you'll always love me
Am
Then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
F
Destructive path that we're on, two psychopaths but we
C
Know that no matter how many knives we put in each other's backs
G
That we'll have each other's backs, 'cause we're that lucky
Am
Together, we move mountains, let's not make mountains out of molehills
F
You hit me twice, yeah, but who's countin'
C
I may have hit you three times, I'm startin' to lose count
G
But together, we'll live forever, we found the youth fountain
Am
Our love is crazy, we're nuts, but I refuse counsellin'
F
This house is too huge, if you move out I'll burn all two thousand
C
Square feet of it to the ground, ain't shit you can do about it
G
'Cause with you I'm in my fuckin' mind, without you I'm out it
[Chorus]
Am F C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn, but that's alright
G Am F
because I like the way it hurts. Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
Cadd9 G
but that's alright because I love the way you lie....love the way you
Am F C
lie...ooh, love the way you lie!
G Am F
Oh, I love the way you lie
Cadd9 G Am F
I love the way you lie
Cadd9 G
I love the way you lie
