D G
[Verse 1]
D Dsus2 D
Shandy was somebody's daughter
G D
Driving to something insane
A7
They busted her crossin the border
G D
Swift as a sniff of cocaine
D Dsus2 D
All she could pay was attention
G D
So all they could take was her time
A7
Proving an ounce of possession
G D
Ain't worth a piece of your mind
[Chorus]
G D G D
'Cause nightmares are somebody's daydreams
G A D
Daydreams are somebody's lies
G D G D
Lies ain't no harder than telling the truth
G D A7 G D
Truth is the perfect disguise
[Verse 2]
D Dsus2 D
Locked in the gold-handled bathroom
G D
Martin was chaning his mind
A7
Shedding his humble pretentions
G D
One careful toke at a time
D D Dsus2
And wiping the mask off the man in the mirror
G D
Who really was Billy the Kid
A7
Smilin at somebody dyin
G D
For something that he never did
[Chorus]
G D G D
'Cause nightmares are somebody's daydreams
G A D
Daydreams are somebody's lies
G D G D
Lies ain't no harder than telling the truth
G D A7 G D
Truth is the perfect disguise
[Verse 4]
D Dsus2 D
Soon as he sat down beside her
G D
Shining like Saturday night
A7
Shandy was his for the savin
G D
Sweet as she looked in the light
D D Dsus2
And maybe they moved from the bar to the bedroom
G D
Maybe just stood there instead
A7
Martin woke up and screamin
G D
Dreamin of blood on the bed
[Chorus]
G D G D
'Cause nightmares are somebody's daydreams
G A D
Daydreams are somebody's lies
G D G D
Lies ain't no harder than telling the truth
G D A7 G D
Truth is the perfect disguise
