Em
I need some closure
G Em G
Feel like the chip fell off my shoulder
Em
Over exposure
G Em G
Open my wounds and make me close up
Em G
I got everything that I thought I'd like
Em G
Simple memories, we were stained like wine
Em
It's pouring over
G Em G
Coursing my veins, leaving me sober
C Am
But they told me, the more the better
C B7 Em
Guess the joke's on me, same old song, I cry
G
Lie, lie, lie
Em
Mmm (Uh)
G
Lie, lie, lie
Em G
They lie, lie, lie
Em
Mmm (Uh)
G
Lie, lie, lie
Em
I hate rollercoasters
G Em
Them ups and downs get me no closer
G Em
Played my role and did what I'm supposed to
G Em G
They say, "She's heating up," but I feel colder
Em G
Mmm, pour the gasoline, set my dreams on fire
Em G
Smoking on my mist 'til it burns my eyes
Em
I'm moving blind now
G Em
An empty heart is not a hideout
G C Am
Oh, they told me, the more the better
C
Guess the joke's on me
B7 Em
Same old song, I cry
G
Lie, lie, lie
Em
Mmm
G
Lie, lie, lie
Em G
Don't believe the lie, lie, lie
Em
Mmm
G
Lie, lie, lie
