D G A D G [Verse 1] D A G Baby's on the backstreets G A D with an hourglass in her hand D A G And they trade their allegiance G A D for a place to make a stand... D A And she might lose perspective G D But she'll never lose control Em A She's just not like that no, not at all... [Verse 2] D A G She's studied with the wise men G A D and she's run with all the fools D A G She brings 'em on so slowly G A D till she's sure they know the rules... D A G And then she leaves 'em bleeding G D with their hearts nailed to her door Em A and they just lie there crying... [Chorus 1] G A D Beautiful lies, you could live in G A All the memories F#m D that sail on through the night... G A And oh, they need her F# Bm A So they'll just close their eyes G while she makes them believe all her G D G Beautiful Lies.. [Bridge] A D G A Bm A D Maybe, someday, somehow, someway Em D Someone will show her G A what the pain is like... G A And oh, they need her F# Bm A But they'll just close their eyes A G While she makes them believe all her D G Beautiful Lies... [Verse 3] D A G Backlit in the doorway G A D Standing naked in the light D A G She calls my name out softly— G A D says, "Michael, everything's all right" D A G She tells me that she loves me G D Em 'cause that's what I want to hear Em A Then she's gone before the morning She just disappears... A And all I'm left with are... [Chorus 2] G A D Beautiful lies, you could live in G A All the memories F#m D that sail on through the night... G A And oh, I need her F# Bm A SoI just close their eyes G while she makes me believe all her G D G A G Beautiful Lies... G D G A D Beautiful Lies.. G D G A D Beautiful lies
