Written by Elvis Costello
Intro: | E | B | E | B | E Said I love You 'til You don't know You're born B Said I'd love You 'til the far side of dawn A But in the morning, if You must leave E Don't leave with Your apologies A If You come back If I liked You at all B Remember I liked You to fall on Your knees E Liar liar You're My last desire A Thought Your kind of love was just a thorn of the rose E Tried to be faithful,Not hard enough I suppose A Tried hard to drown with a hum and a drum In a pretty drug slum mire, tried bearing Your sighs And Your sneers and Your frown Tried wearing Your jewels and Your heels and Your crown B E But it was nothing but a twist of barbwire B E It was nothing but a twist of barbwire B E | B | It was nothing but a twist of barbwire | E | B | E | B | E See I promise I'll be constantly clean B Did You think that I still say what I mean A Now You're keening and You have to decide E Will You open Your legs or Your eyes A Or do You pray now 'cos I pray all the time B As the soul can't escape what the heart may disguise E Liar liar You're My last desire A Thought Your kind of love was just a thorn of the rose E Tried to be faithful,Not hard enough I suppose A Tried hard to drown with a hum and a drum In a pretty drug slum mire, tried bearing Your sighs And Your sneers and Your frown Tried wearing Your jewels and Your heels and Your crown B E But it was nothing but a twist of barbwire B E It was nothing but a twist of barbwire B E It was nothing but a twist of barbwire B E | B | But it was nothing but a twist of barbwire | E | B | E | B | | E | B | E | B | E ..
