Em          D            G
If there's poison in this cup
C
She still offers it up
Em           D              G
Then she tells me it's your life
C
And darling it's your luck
Em           D             G
Ain't so desperate to be liked
C
Or to be loved
Em             D           G
Ain't craved a validating mind
C
She don't need your love

[Chorus]
G     D    Em
London don't lie
C
London don't lie
G       D     Em
London don't lie
C
Don't like no no

[Verse]
Em         D         G
She don't dress the ugly truth
C
To make her white teeth shine
Em         D          G
She don't lull me in a fire
C
And tell me I'll be fine
Em           D                G               C
She pulls back the curtain clears the smoke and shows me
Em           D             G               C
A mirror standing clear to see myself the way she sees

[Chorus]
G     D    Em
London don't lie
C
London don't lie
G       D     Em
London don't lie
C
Don't like no no
G       D     Em
London don't lie
C
Don't waste my high
G       D      Em
London don't lie
C
No don't lie no no

[Bridge]
Em                             D
She swallows the unsteady and spits you out
G                     C
Grab at you already, destroy your clout
Em                     D
'Cos you're unsteady, you're a little unsteady
G                         C
Little unsteady, you're a little unsteady

Em                                  D
Won't tell you that she loves you in all your light
G                                      C
She smells the fear on you dressed up to the nines
             Em            D
'Cos you're unsteady, a little unsteady
G                            C
Little unsteady, you're a little unsteady

[Bridge 2]
Em             D
I've seen the smiling faces
G                C
Trading places, I just don't buy
Em             D
I've tasted lust and fucked the words
G              C
The feigning wise impart
Em               D
I've walked the earth in search of
G              C
Something I was looking for
Em             D
Only to come home and find
G              C
My heartbeat in her arms


[Chorus]
G     D    Em
London don't lie
C
London don't lie
G       D     Em
London don't lie
C
Don't like no no
G       D     Em
London don't lie
C
Don't waste my high
G       D      Em
London don't lie
C
No don't lie no no
