I had anGother drink after another drink 
and then I tried to crawl to the dD7oor
I had another smoke after another joke 
and then I couldn't take any mGore
It didn't change a thing, not any single thing
when someone tried to tell me for sCure
I heard anGother voice that said I waDsn't in a dream
I read a woGrd or two about eDverything
I never knGew the way that it ouDghta have been
They nCever told Dme a tGhing about it
I neCver did knDow a thGing about it
And the lCies in the eyes of a thousand eyes 
they won't Ggo away
And the tCimes that I tried are the times that 
I find they don't sGhow today
But yFou make me fCeel Fso gGoodC  F  G  
I woke up after four, still lying on the floor, 
and waiting to be carried away
I woke up once again, a little after ten, 
will things be any better today
It doesn't change you see, it only changes me, 
well someone tried to tell me I'm sure
I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream
I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, 
they won't go away
And the times that I tried, are the times that 
I find they don't show today
But you make me feel so good
I'm going back to school, I'm gonna check the rule, 
and see if I get carried away
I'm going back again, I'm gonna try again, 
don't listen what the people might say
It doesn't change a thing, not any single thing, 
well someone tried to tell me for sure
I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream
I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lCies in the eyes of a thousand eyes 
they won't Ggo away
And the tCimes that I tried are the times that 
I find they don't sGhow today
But yFou make me fCeel so GgoFodC  
I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream
I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, 
they won't go away
And the times that I tried, are the times that 
I find they don't show today
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, 
they won't go away
And the times that I tried, are the times that 
I find they don't show today
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, 
they won't go away
And the times that I tried, are the times that 
I find they don't show today
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, 
they won't go away
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, 
they won't go away

I had another drink after another drink

and then I tried to crawl to the door

I had another smoke after another joke

and then I couldn't take any more

It didn't change a thing, not any single thing

when someone tried to tell me for sure

G D

I heard another voice that said I wasn't in a dream

G D

I read a word or two about everything

G D

I never knew the way that it oughta have been

C D G

They never told me a thing about it

C D G

I never did know a thing about it

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes

they won't go away

And the times that I tried are the times that

I find they don't show today

F C F G C F G

But you make me feel so good

I woke up after four, still lying on the floor,

and waiting to be carried away

I woke up once again, a little after ten,

will things be any better today

It doesn't change you see, it only changes me,

well someone tried to tell me I'm sure

I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream

I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between

I never knew the way that it oughta have been

They never told me a thing about it

I never did know a thing about it

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes,

they won't go away

And the times that I tried, are the times that

I find they don't show today

But you make me feel so good

I'm going back to school, I'm gonna check the rule,

and see if I get carried away

I'm going back again, I'm gonna try again,

don't listen what the people might say

It doesn't change a thing, not any single thing,

well someone tried to tell me for sure

I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream

I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between

I never knew the way that it oughta have been

They never told me a thing about it

I never did know a thing about it

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes

they won't go away

And the times that I tried are the times that

I find they don't show today

F C G F C

But you make me feel so good

I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream

I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between

I never knew the way that it oughta have been

They never told me a thing about it

I never did know a thing about it

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes,

they won't go away

And the times that I tried, are the times that

I find they don't show today

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes,

they won't go away

And the times that I tried, are the times that

I find they don't show today

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes,

they won't go away

And the times that I tried, are the times that

I find they don't show today

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes,

they won't go away

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes,

they won't go away
