Verse 1:
C#m F#m
I heard the truth was built to bend
C#m F#m C#m
A mechanism to suspend the guilt
F#m C#m
Is what you are requiring still
F#m
You’ve got, to dance little liar
C#m F#m
Just like those fibbs to pop and fizz
C#m F#m
And you’ll be forced to take that awful quiz
C#m
And you’re bound to trip
F#m C#m
And she’ll detect the fiction on
F#m
Your lips and dig a contradicion up
Chorus:
A F#m C#m
And the clean coming will hurt
E F#m
And you can never get it spotless
E G#
When theres dirt beneth the dirt
C#m
The liar takes alot less time
Verse 2:
C#m F#m
Im sure its clear and plain to me
C#m F#m C#m
Its not an alibi you need just yet#
F#m C#m
Oh no its something for those beads of sweat
F#m
Yes that will get you back to normal
C#m F#m C#m
And after you have dabbed the patch you’ll grieve
F#m C#m
And then proceed to scratch the varnish off
F#m
That newly added calmness
C#m F#m
So as not to raise any alarms too soon
Chorus:
A F#m C#m
And the clean coming will hurt
E F#m
And you can never get it spotless
E G#
When theres dirt beneth the dirt
C#m
The liar takes alot less time
Bridge: (faster strumming here)
F#m C#m
Time to decide on his saunter
F#m
Have you got itchy bones?
C#m
And in all your time alone
F#m C#m (or C#)
Can you hack your mind being riddled
E G#
with the wrong memories?
Instrumental: C#m x4
