[Verse]
G                         C
There's lights on in a window,
                         Em
And a sign post in the snow,
                   C             D
There's a golden coin beneath your pillow.
G                    C
There's parachutes above you,
                Em
And life boats below,
                   C
And a heart that loves you,
                D
Yeah I think you know.
[Interlude]
G C Em C
[Verse]
G                           C
There's treasure maps well hidden,
                     Em
And diamonds in the dirt,
                    C                 D
There's a golden thread weaved in to your shirt.
G                         C
There's a kiss for every tear,
                       Em
That rolls down your cheek,
                       C                     D
And words I shouldn't hear and words you shouldn't speak.
[Chorus]
G           C         D      G
So tell me one more lie my dear,
           C        D      G
Whisper softly so nobody hears,
          Em        D            C
Keep me hanging on for another year,
Oh tell me one more lie my dear.
[Interlude]
G C Em C
[Verse]
G                          C
Well there's whisky and blankets,
                           Em
And a bonfire when you're cold,
                   C                D
I'll hold a golden breath till I'm silver and old.
G                   C
With only hope to keep alive,
                Em
And only time to kill,
                      C              D
There's a fool that loved you and he loves you still.
[Chorus]
G           C         D      G
So tell me one more lie my dear,
           C        D      G
Whisper softly so nobody hears,
          Em        D            C
Keep me hanging on for another year,
Oh tell me one more lie my dear.
[Bridge]
Am                           Em
Spin me one more tale sweet heart,
                                           G
Weave golden needle and thread through my heart,
                                           D
Whisper all the things you know I long to hear,
            C        D      G
Oh tell me one more lie my dear.
