C                                                       Am            C
Lies, lies, lying little beast, Lying little man on the corner of the street
C                                                                       Am                     C
Singing "Why, I can't come out to play, Can't come out and say that I'm afraid of what they'll say

C                G       Am                       F                              Am          C  
They're saying, "Oh, no! You'll never be a-lone! Never hear the sound of someone calling you home."

C                                                             Am               C
I flew farther than I knew, Father, did you know that I don't need to tell the truth?
C
Cause my lies take me far away, Take me to a place where everyone will know my name

C           G       Am                      F                               Am          C
Screaming, "Oh, no! You'll never be a-lone! Never hear the sound of someone calling you home."
C
Calling you home

(humming)
C  Am  F  C,      Am C  F  C

C
Oh Lord, whatever did I say? Whatever made me think that this was all okay?
C
No one held me to the flame, The hell if I could take the dark from my face

C           G       Am                     F                                    Am         C
Screaming, "Oh, no! I'll always be a-lone. I'll never hear the sound of someone calling me home."
C
Calling me home
Calling me home
Calling me home

(ah)
C  Am  F  C,      Am C  F  C

C                 Am            F                       C
Lies! Lies that I couldn't see! I couldn't see that the liar was me!
Am            C                 F                   C
And so I flew away with myself, I was the beast all alone in my hell
(repeat)

F                     C
I was the beast all alone in my hell
I was the beast all alone in my hell
I was the beast all alone in my hell
