Ive Lied

        G                       C
Sitting here in this lonely old guest house
    G            D            G           G7
I’m sure that my life is all through
           G                    C
Scratching fleas and watching a grey mouse
           G           D         G           G7
I’m making love to the memory of you

        G                      C
For without you I’m weak and uncertain
    G         D         G           G7
And I feel so naked and cold
       G                  C
Like a window without any curtains
    G        D          G           G7
My innermost feelings unfold

    C
The drink I just had
                        G       G7
It wasn’t as bad as the first
    C
And drinking won’t do
                          G        D
When it’s only for you I thirst, I thirst

         G                    C
For your kiss it quenches all burning
         G                D           G           G7
And it’s sweeter than the sweetest of wine
           G                  C
Now you’re gone I find myself yearning
        G         D        G           G7
For the love that I left behind

  C
Nobody can heal
                       G       G7
The pain that I feel inside
       C
And if I said I’m strong
                        G       D         G
And I’m never wrong – I lied, I lied... I lied
