"Lies"
Gm D/F#m F C D
Gm
Some lie about who they love
Bb
Some lie about the truth
Cm Gm
Some lie to save their lives
Eb D
Some lie about their youth
Some lie about age and beauty
The conquest of sex
Most lie about the night before
A woman lies for a party dress
Eb Bb
I've lied for a stolen moment
Eb Bb
I've lied for one more clue
Cm Gm
I've lied about most everything
Eb D
But I never lied to you
Bb F
And we lie, lie, lie on a streetcar named desire
Gm Eb F
Oh we lie, lie, lie for that sweet bird of youth
Cm D
I could be great like Tennessee Williams
[?] Cm Eb D
If I could only hear something that sounds like the truth
Some lie in the face of death
Some lie about their fame
Some kneel and lie to God
Some lie about their name
Some lie in words and speeches
With every living breath
The young lie with their guitars
The old lie for a little respect
I've lied to lie with danger
I've lied for a drug or two
I've lied about most everything
But I never lied to you
I've lied for a stolen moment
I've lied for one more clue
I've lied about most everything
But I never lied to you.
