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
