  D       Dsus2Tell Bma lie... thatA's enough.
Give me a Gstory you've made up
and I'll fDorDsus2give you. 
I don't Bmcare what you Asaid I said.
GIt's all in your head. I'll never get yDou. 
And you're Atalking these things through 
like you Bmknow what you've been through,
bDut there's not a lot of reason
in the thiGngs that we believe in, so AI'll believe in Gyou. 
(CHORUS)
DI am on the outside of Asus4truth and I'm looking in on you
bBmut you're staining this town with Asus4fighting
GYou're staining this town with fighting
And  I'm Dhonest as a photo Asus4booth.

but Bmyou're leaving me fast as ligAhtning.
GYou' re leaving me just to spite me. 
ABabe, it must be hard living in a castle.
Counting DaBmddy's monies must be a hastle--
PDroudly you can't abide.
I pGrobably should live a lie,
but I've been taAught that there's something more
to liBmving life than knowing scores.
I'm prDoud to say I'm honest.
ProGud to say I'm right.

(VERSE)

D Dsus2 Bm A

Tell a lie... that's enough.

Give me a story you've made up

D Dsus2

and I'll forgive you.

Bm A

I don't care what you said I said.

G D

It's all in your head. I'll never get you.

And you're talking these things through

like you know what you've been through,

but there's not a lot of reason

G A G

in the things that we believe in, so I'll believe in you.

(CHORUS)

D Asus4

I am on the outside of truth and I'm looking in on you

Bm Asus4

but you're staining this town with fighting

You're staining this town with fighting

D Asus4

And I'm honest as a photo booth.

I'm just playing off of you,

Bm A

but you're leaving me fast as lightning.

You' re leaving me just to spite me.

Babe, it must be hard living in a castle.

Counting Daddy's monies must be a hastle--

Proudly you can't abide.

I probably should live a lie,

but I've been taught that there's something more

to living life than knowing scores.

I'm proud to say I'm honest.

Proud to say I'm right.

(CHORUS)

D Asus4

I am on the outside of truth and I'm looking in on you

Bm Asus4

but you're leaving me fast as lightning.

You' re leaving me just to spite me.

(BRIDGE)

Asus4

Time out- I don't need this drama,

but I will take you back anyday.

I will take you back anyday.

Asus4

I'm out, all out of things to argue,

but I will take you on any day

(CHORUS)

D Asus4

I am on the outside of truth and I'm looking in on you

Bm Asus4

but you're staining this town with fighting

You're staining this town with fighting

D Asus4

And I'm honest as a photo booth.

I'm just playing off of you,

but you're leaving me fast as lightning.

You' re leaving me just to spite me.
