Beautiful Lies

Intro 

D      G        A    D     G 



D                 A G 
Baby's on the backstreets 
G                  A D 
with an hourglass in her hand 
D                    A  G 
And they trade their allegiance 
G                    A D 
for a place to make a stand... 
D               A 
And she might lose perspective 
G                      D 
But she'll never lose control 
 Em                             A 
She's just not like that     no, not at all... 



D                            A G 
She's studied with the wise men 
G                         A  D 
and she's run with all the fools 
D                     A G 
She brings 'em on so slowly 
G                             A   D 
till she's sure they know the rules... 
D                            A   G 
And then she leaves 'em bleeding 
G                                 D 
with their hearts nailed to her door 
Em                    A 
and they just lie there crying... 




G               A      D 
Beautiful lies, you could live in 
G                     A 
All the memories 
F#m                                D 
that sail on through the night... 
G                     A 
And oh, they need her 
F#                   Bm   A 
So they'll just close their eyes 
                     G 
while she makes them believe all her 
G       D      G 
Beautiful Lies.. 




A       D       G 

A      Bm         A      D 
Maybe, someday, somehow, someway 
Em              D 
Someone will show her 
G                     A 
what the pain is like... 
G                    A 
And oh, they need her 
F#               Bm      A 
But they'll just close their eyes 
A         G 
While she makes them believe all her 
D                 G 
Beautiful Lies... 



D                     A G 
Backlit in the doorway 
G                    A   D 
Standing naked in the light 
D                   A    G 
She calls my name out softly— 
G                            A    D 
says, "Michael, everything's all right" 
D                      A    G 
She tells me that she loves me 
G              D                Em 
'cause that's what I want to hear 
Em                                       A 
Then she's gone before the morning  She just disappears... 
A 
And all I'm left with are... 



G               A      D 
Beautiful lies, you could live in 
G            A 
All the memories 
F#m                   D 
that sail on through the night... 
G           A 
And oh, I need her 
F#       Bm       A 
SoI just close their eyes 
          G 
while she makes me believe all her 
G      D        G  A G 
Beautiful Lies... 
G      D       G  A D 
Beautiful Lies.. 
G      D       G  A D 
Beautiful  lies
