HOW MUCH I’VE LIED
Gram Parsons, 1973
(this is a whole step lower on the record, but I like this key for
playablity and singability.)

G D G C
Darling, there is something I must tell you, you must know.
Em A D
But it’s so hard to say the words I feel.
C G C
This fancy that I’m on has been going on too long.
Em C D
It’s time we stopped pretending things are real.
G D G C
‘Cause I’ve been living deep in sin. I’ve been living blind.
Em A D
And I don’t know just what’s right or wrong.
C G C
To take a chance on losing you was such a silly thing to do.
Em C D
The chance I might wake up and find you gone.
C D G C
Blue, so blue, my love is burning blue.
Em Am C D
Any brighter flame would be a lie.
C D G C
Blue, so blue, my love still burns for you,
Em C D
But I know that I’ll only make you cry.
G D G C
A thief can only steal from you. He cannot break your heart.
Em A D
He’ll never touch the precious things inside.
C G C
So one like you should surely be miles and miles away from me,
Em C D G
Then you’d never care how much I’ve lied.
C G C
So try to understand the pain. It takes so long when I explain.
Em C D G
Please, don’t you forget how much I’ve lied.
