Daughter, I once thought that I had angels in my room.
E                                                    A
They were sleeping on my fan while I was dreaming of you.
E                               A
And daughter, I once had,  such desire to believe
E                                         A
that our lives had been planned out by an unseen deity,

Chorus
    A                 B          E         Cm
but you don't have to waste your time
B             A         E
holding on to beautiful lies.


E                               A
Daughter, I once knew that everything that I believed
E                                 A
was good, and fair, and true, and consistent with my needs.
E                                  A
But daughter, I am wrong almost as often as I'm right.
E                                     A
So daughter, just be strong enough to make up your own mind,

         A                 B          E        Cm
because you don't have to waste your time,
B             A         E
holding on to beautiful lies.

         A                 B          E        Cm
no you don't have to waste your time,
B             A         E
holding on to beautiful lies.

E              A
