Verse 1:
[Rihanna]
F#m D
On the first page of a story
A E
the future seemed so bright
F#m D
then this thing turned out so evil
A E
I don’t know why I’m still surprised
F#m D
even angels have their wicked schemes
A E
and you take that to new extremes
F#m D
but you’ll always be my hero
A E
even though you’ve lost your mind
Chorus:
F#m D
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
A E
but that’s all right because I like the way it hurts
F#m D
just gonna stand there and hear me cry
A E
but that’s all right because I love the way you lie
F#m
I love the way you lie
D A E
Ohhh, I love the way you lie
This morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face
smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
hush baby, speak softly, tell me I’ll be sorry
that you pushed me into the coffee table last night
so I can push you off me
try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
run out the room and I’ll follow you like a lost puppy
baby, without you, I’m nothing, I’m so lost, hug me
then tell me how ugly I am, but that you’ll always love me
then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
destructive path that we’re on, two psychopaths but we
know that no matter how many knives we put in each other’s backs
that we’ll have each other’s backs, ’cause we’re that lucky
together, we move mountains, let’s not make mountains
out of molehills,
you hit me twice, yeah, but who’s countin’?
I may have hit you three times, I’m startin’ to lose count
but together, we’ll live forever, we found the youth fountain
our love is crazy, we’re nuts, but I refused counselin’
this house is too huge, if you move out I’ll burn all two thousand
square feet of it to the ground, ain’t shit you can do about it
with you I’m in my f-ckin’ mind, without you, I’m out it

Verse 2: (same as Verse 1)
[Rihanna]
Now there’s gravel in our voices
glass is shattered from the fight
in this tug of war, you’ll always win
even when I’m right
’cause you feed me fables from your hand
with violent words and empty threats
and it’s sick that all these battles
are what keeps me satisfied
Chorus
Bridge:
[Rihanna]
F#m D
So maybe I’m a masochist
A E
I try to run but I don’t wanna ever leave
F#m D
til the walls are goin’ up
A E
in smoke with all our memories
