Verse 1:
EHe sits alone at a E7table in the Asmall cafe
ECounting his tears in a E7bottomless cup of Acoffee
F#mAnd he's tumbling into his Athoughts
F#mHis memories are all tied in Aknots
F#mWho is G#mgoing to Asave him
F#mNo one G#mwants to Aknow him
Verse 2:
She stands alone in a place where no one knows her name
She catches them staring they turn round and finish the drink
and She's nursing her head and her pride
She died long ago deep down inside
Who is going to save her
No one wants to know her.
Chorus:
EI can't believe that you Emaj7pull on a sleeve when you crAy
EYou stick in the knife then give Emaj7the kiss of life, live the Alie
F#mWe all hG#mave a Asaviour, F#mso do yG#mourself a fAavour,
EStop living the lie.
Verse 3:
He sits alone and looks up to the eyes of an angel
She catches him staring and smiles the smile of an angel
And she asks him if this chair is free
He says "yes, will you sit here with me?"
No one would have saved him
We should all learn from them
Chorus:
I can't believe that you pull on the sleeve when you cry
You stick in the knife then give the kiss of life, live the lie
We all have a saviour, so do yourself a favour,
Stop living the lie.
Lie
The lie
Living the lie.
I like this song when done either with piano or acoustic guitar, especially
if you don't try to copy David Sneddon and make it your own.
