Here's James Arthur's "Beautiful Lies" i found the chords while watching the video and 
the same for the lyrics, i hope these are correct.
For the chords i'm pratically sure that these are the good ones.
There's 2 G chords in the song :
 The "normal" but without the index finger
 The Bar chord but with the 2 bottom strings open (when he goes to the pre chorus)
 The F chords is also with the 2 bottom strings open, but it can work with the usual bar chord
 The Cadd9 is playing like the G chord without the index but with the thumb on the low E
Standard Tunning
No capo
Verse 1
[Am]They lay, [G]intoxicated [Em]together alone
[F]As she cried in his arms [G]
[Am]She claims to [G]love him oh, she [Em]bares her soul
 Pre Chorus
 [F]But he's looking away [G]
 [F]He's falling into demise[G]
 [F]He's tryna get trough the night[G]
 [F]Hold on
 ho, no [G]
 She says
 (Chorus)
[Cadd9]Don't look at [G]me again cause [Am]all i see
Are your [F]beautiful [G]lies
And [Cadd9]don't talk to me {G]again cause [Am]all i see
[F]Are your beautiful lies[G] x3
 Verse 2
[Am]Forced laughter [G]followed by her [Em]plastic smile
 Pre chorus
[F]He's screaming "let me inside"[G]
 [F]He's tryna get though the night[G]
 [F]Ho, no [G]
 [Mute]He says..
 (Chorus)
[Cadd9]Don't look at [G]me again cause [Am]all i see
Are your [F]beautiful [G]lies
And, [Cadd9]don't look (Possibly a mistake by JA), talk to me [G]again cause [Am]all i hear
[F]are your beautiful lies[G] x3
[F]oh, oh.. [G]
[Am]hold on [G] x3
[G]beautiful lies [C](till it fade out) ...
