Em
. Some lie about who they love
C                    G
. Some lie about the truth
D                        Em
. Some lie to save their lives
C                      B
. Some lie about their youth

[Verse 2]
Em
. Some lie about age and beauty
C                 G
. The conquest of sex
D                    Em
. Most lie about the night before
  C                B
A woman lies for a party dress

[Pre-chorus]
C                        G
. I've lied for a stolen moment
C                        G
. I've lied for one more clue
F                      Em
. I've lied about most everything
      C             B
But I never lied to you

[Chorus]
       G                  D
And we lie, lie, lie on a streetcar named desire
      Em        C                          D
Oh we lie, lie, lie for that sweet bird of youth
           Am                   B
I could be great like Tennessee Williams
           E         Am             C      B        Em
If I could only hear somethin' that sounds like the truth

[Verse 3]
Em
. Some lie in the face of death
C                      G
. Some lie about their fame
D                       Em
. Some kneel and lie to God
C                      B
. Some lie about their name

[Verse 4]
Em
. Some lie in words and speeches
C                   G
. With every living breath
D                          Em
. The young lie with their guitars
C                            B
. The old lie for a little respect

[Pre-chorus]
C                       G
. I've lied to lie with danger
C                         G
. I've lied for a drug or two
F                      Em
. I've lied about most everything
      C             B
But I never lied to you

[Chorus]
       G                  D
And we lie, lie, lie on a streetcar named desire
      Em        C                          D
Oh we lie, lie, lie for that sweet bird of youth
           Am                   B
I could be great like Tennessee Williams
           E         Am             C      B
If I could only hear somethin' that sounds like the
