Intro: E7 E E7 E 

(E)What if I told you it was done with mirrors (E7) 
(E)What if I showed you it was (A)all a (E)lie  
Better be careful, someone might hear ya  
The (D)walls have ears and the (A)sky has (E7)(E)eyes (E7) 
(E)What if I said you were only dreamin' (E7) 
(E)What you wanna bet that all you (A)gotta (E)do  
Is open up your eyes and you will wake up screamin'  
(D)When you realize that it's (A)all come (E7)(E)true  

Chorus  
(E7)Hush, (E)now don't you believe it  
(D)Cover your head and (A)close your (E7)eyes  
(E)Now, take it or leave it  
(D)Go back to bed  
Now (A)don't you (E7)(E)cry (E7) (E) 

(E)Half a million soldiers fly across the water (E7) 
(E)One in ten are never comin' (A)back a(E)gain  
Fifty thousand sons who never grew to fathers  
(D)Don't you ever wonder who they (A)might have (E7)(E)been (E7) (E) (E7) 
(E)What if you could've been there on that day in Dallas (E7) 
(E)What if you could wrestle back the (A)hands of (E)time  
Maybe somethin' could've been done in Memphis  
We (D)wouldn't be livin' in a (A)dream that's (E7)(E)died  

Chorus  

(E)Go on and tell yourself again there are no secrets (E7) 
(E)Go on and tell yourself that you (A)don't wanna (E)know  
It's best that you believe that you don't hear the footsteps  
That (D)follow you around no matter (A)where you (E)go  
Maybe you were thinkin' that it didn't matter (E7) 
(E)Maybe you believed nobody (A)else would (E)care  
But once you've added every little lie together  
You (D)finally find the truth was al(A)ways waiting (E)there (E7) (E)
