LOVE LIES 
Bon Jovi (1984)
INTRO:     F#m    Bm    C#m   F#m( C#m-  E) 
         F#m  Bm  C#m  F#m
VERSE: (Same chords as Intro)
I was lost, then I found you  
I never thought it would be this way. 
Showed you my heart, I left it unguarded, 
like a thief in the night you stole it away. 
PRECHORUS:
F#mNow you're gone, Dthe pain goes Eon and on. 
F#mI still hear you whispering to me through the sDhadows of the night. 
CHORUS:
F#mLove lies, you're just a victim of the hDeadlines. 
You're running on into a cC#old night. 
You're just a number of the F#mlove lies. 
All alone you call it survival, 
he lost at love to a stranger's lines. 
Walking the streets, searching with vengeance 
for a face that he dreams of night after night. 
Time goes on, all signs of life stolen, simple dreams were all broken. 
Best of times become desperation but how many tears must you cry to survive? 
CHORUS x2
BRIDGE:
   C#mThey met late one night in the city. 
   ABoth men knew only one would stay. 
   F#mScratched a picture of a heart on a bullet 
and G#took his life away. 
SOLO (  C#m–  A-  G#-  C#m) 
C#mLove lies, you're just another victim of the hAeadlines
You're running on into a cG#old night
Just a number of the lC#move lies...
