Intro: G F Am 

Verse

G                           Cm          G 
You can see yourself in the side mirror 
        Em 
Tossing your hair 
C            Am  
If no one is there 
C          Am 
Why do you care 
G                                Cm         G 
Though I let you think there was no witness to 
       Em 
All of your crimes 
C                 Am 
  I knew what you were 
C               Am 
  A climber who climbs 

    G         Em 
I’m living a lie 
C               Am 
  You’re living it too 
C                 Am 
  Cause I live it with you 
    G          Bm 
I’m living a lie 
Em              Am 
  A lie I can’t tell 
      G          F            Am 
So we wait for a crack in the shell

G                            Cm      G 
No one bears a grudge like a boy genius 
          Em 
Just past his prime 
C             Am 
  Gilding his cage 
C            Am 
  A bar at a time 
    G                        Cm         G 
For every open arm there's a cold shoulder 
        Em 
Waiting to turn 
C           Am 
  People to blame 
C            Am 
  Bridges to burn 


    G         Em 
I’m living a lie 
C               Am 
  You’re living it too 
C                 Am 
  Cause I live it with you 
    G          Bm 
I’m living a lie 
Em              Am 
  A lie I can’t tell

So we wait for a crack in the shell 
  

BRIDGE 
  
  C             G        C                
A girl comes around at a time when your ground 
      G        F           C 
Is as shaky as leaves on a tree 
   Am        G         C      Am 
Creating for you a persona or two 
      G           F      C 
Or an out-and-out mythology 
            Am       G             C 
Now there’s too many cooks but you like how it looks 
             G          F            C 
When they’re bowing and calling you “boss” 
        Am          G          C           Am 
But the powers that were, were invested in her 
        G             F      C       Am 
And now winning means taking    a loss 


    G         Em 
I’m living a lie 
C               Am 
  You’re living it too 
C                 Am 
  Cause I live it with you 
    G          Bm 
I’m living a lie 
Em              Am 
  A lie I can’t tell 
      G          F            Am 
So we wait for a crack in the shell 
        G          F            Am 
Yeah we wait for a crack in the shell
