                Em
So what do you want?
    G
So many big ol' lies
            C
to choose from now
         Em
Are you listening?

are you coming up with some?
     Em                G
And what if I sell my soul?

          Em                G
Ooh, it's easy to lie when nothing
                C
makes sense anymore

[Chorus]

                  G
You don't talk a lot but I like it
                        C

Can't tell you everything
that went on

             Em
Gonna take a bit
        G
Maybe this will take
                  C
a little time to heal

'Cause I'm hurting

And I don't want to go back
               C
down inside of me
      Em                  G
And where is my sense of joy?
       C
It's creeping back in
             Em           G
Yeah, I'm a liar but I'm lying
