[Intro]
Em D G A
G C D
Am G

[Verse 1]
Em
  What was the moment?
It's hard to say
D
 I’m sure I don't
 remember anyway
Bm
  Before I only
 knew to hesitate
A
Pin back in the grenade
    G            C   D
And all the ways I'd keep
 you safe
  Cmaj7
I keep you safe from me

[Chorus]
     G
And, oh, my love
  Em
I lied to you
      Bm           G
But I never needed to
G
Oh, my love
  Em
I lied to you
        Bm
But you always knew
     A     G
the truth

[Verse 2]
Em
  I got too good at
 fighting chemicals
D
 And dodging arrows
 I was asking for
Bm
Wading through the fog
 and then it disappeared
A
Naked when I’m here
    G            C D
And why should I deny
what's all
   Cmaj7
At once so crystal clear?

[Chorus]
     G
And, oh, my love
  Em
I lied to you
      Bm           G
But I never needed to
G
Oh, my love
  Em
I lied to you
        Bm
But you always knew
     A     D
 the truth

[Bridge]
Cmaj7
Love is not an easy
       D
thing to admit
        Am                Bm
But I'm not ashamed of it
Cmaj7
Love is not a weakening
        D
if you feel it rushing in
      Am               Bm
Don't be ashamed of it
    Cmaj7
Mm, love is not an easy
       D
thing to admit
        Am                Bm
But I'm not ashamed of it
    Cmaj7
Mm, love is not a weakening
        D
if you feel it rushing in
      Am               Bm
Don't be ashamed of it

How to play Liar: key, chords and progression

To play Liar by Paramore, think in G major (one sharp: F♯). It takes 8 chords: Em, D, G, A, C, Am, Bm and Cmaj7.

Listen for Bm – G – Em – Bm (iii – I – vi – iii in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is mi – doh – lah – mi. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
