Honestly I Lie

Tom: E

E G#m F#m A

[Verse 1]
E                                 G#m
When my friends ask me how I've been
        F#m
I don't say I spend too much time
        A
Erasing your name from my mind

E                          G#m
and if they ask me how I slept
             F#m
well I don't talk about those nights
       A                 B
I just say I'm doing fine

E
Might say I've never been better
G#m
Life's great, better than ever
F#m                              A          B
I've got time for finding myself without her

[Chorus]
E
But heartbreak hasn't been good for me
           G#m
I probably drink too much and I hardly sleep
           F#m
And when I do I dream of you and me
A                 B
Carving our names into that tree
              E
And when they play that song
What's it called?
           G#m
I'm like a record stuck that can't move on
  F#m                A
I always say I'm fine
    B          E
But honestly I lie

[Instrumental]
G#m F#m A B

[Verse 2]
E                             G#m
They always say it's a small world
            F#m
It can't be smaller than this town
           A            B
I'm always seeing you around
E
I saw you out
G#m
Before I got to speak my mind
          F#m
You said "I moved on from you
    A                B
I'm glad to see that you have too"
E
So say I've never been better
G#m
Life's great, better than ever
F#m                                 A    B
You're right, it's probably for the best

[Chorus]
E
But heartbreak hasn't been good for me
           G#m
I probably drink too much and I hardly sleep
           F#m
And when I do I dream of you and me
A                 B
Carving our names into that tree
              E
And when they play that song
What's it called?
           G#m
I'm like a record stuck that can't move on
  F#m                A
I always say I'm fine
    B          A E B
But honestly I lie

[Bridge]
  A E B
I lie
F#m
Because I'm always tryin' to fool everybody else
      A               E
But I only fool myself

[Chorus]
E
But heartbreak hasn't been good for me
           G#m
I probably drink too much and I hardly sleep
           F#m
And when I do I dream of you and me
A                 B
Carving our names into that tree
              E
And when they play that song
What's it called?
           G#m
I'm like a record stuck that can't move on
  F#m                A
I always say I'm fine
  F#m                A
I always say I'm fine
    B          E
But honestly I lie
