  			Am 

G                              Am           G 
   The bomb fell but didn’t ignite in your eyes 
           F                                     C 
And your scars are safe from sight below shirt sleeves tonight 
F                         G          Am        C 
   You said if you never heard your name again 
               F               C 
It would be alright. What goes on in your mind? 
G      F     C 
   My,   my, 
G                   F      C 
   You're such a beautiful   lie 


G                                     Am         G 
   This whole damn place has lost its charm, mmm 
       F                             C 
The locals are long gone below the bridge each night 
F                 G         Am                   C 
   You walk head-down on streets once overlooked 
           F                             C 
Man, they sure look nice now if you can pay the price now 
G      F     C 
   My,   my, 
G                   F      C 
   You're such a beautiful   lie 
G      F     C 
   My,   my, 
G                   F      C 
   You're such a beautiful   lie 


           Dm 
You could sink into the river 
      Am                  Amadd9 
Float East out to the sea 
 C 
Settle in the ocean 
         G 
Big and far as eyes can see 
         Dm 
Or hold council in the alley 
     Am                   Amadd9 
Bare feet on hot concrete 
       C 
Just drink yourself to death here 
            G                        Am 
'Cause you never planned on leaving 


G                          Am             G 
   Sun fails you at first light when you rise 
          F                                           C 
And you drink till the shaking stops, drink till you feel alright 
F                         G      Am        C 
   You said you’ll never be the same again 
              F                     C 
But at least you try now. What goes on in your mind now? 
G      F     C 
   My,   my, 
G                   F      C 
   You're such a beautiful   lie 
G      F     C 
   My,   my, 
G                   F      C 
   You're such a beautiful   lie
