Haligh Haligh A Lie Haligh Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

F♯mThe phoneD slips from aA loosBme grip

F♯mWords were miDssed, then some AapoloBmgy

F♯mI didn't want to tDell you this

 No, it's jAust some guy she's bBmeen hanging out F♯mwith

 I don't kDnow, the past couple of weAeks, I gBmuess

F♯mThank you and hang Dup the phone

 Let the Afuneral start, hear the caBmsket close

 Let's F♯mpin split-black riDbbon to your AovercoBmat

F♯mThe laughter pours from uDnder doors in this hoAuse

 I don't understBmand that sound no F♯mmore

 Seems artificDial, like a TA.V. sGet

BmHaligh, Haligh, a lie, Haligh

 This weAight, it must be satisfied

 You ofGfer only one reply

 You kAnow not what you do

 As you tBmear and tear your hair from roots

 Of tAhat same head you've twice removed

 Now a lGock of hair you said would prove

 Our lAove would never die

 Well, ha ha ha Bm

F♯mI rememberD everything

 The woArds we spoke on frBmeezing South SF♯mtreet

 All those mornings watDching you

 GAet ready for scBmhool

F♯mYou combed your hair inDside that mirror

 The one youA painted blue

 And gBmlued with jewelry tF♯mears

 Something about those brDight colors

 Would always mAake you feel bBmetter

F♯mBut now we speak with ruDined tongues

 And the wAords we say aren't mBmeant for anyF♯mone

 It's just a mumbled senDtence to

 A paAssing Bmacquaintance

But there was once you

F♯mYou said you hate my sufDfering, and you Aunderstood

 And yBmou'd take care of F♯mme

 You'd always Dbe there

 Well, whAere are you nowG?

BmHaligh, Haligh, a lie, Haligh

 The pAlans were never finalized

 But lGeft to hang like yarn and twine

 DanAgling before my eyes

 As you Bmtear and tear your hair from roots

 From tAhat same head that you have twice removed

 Now, a lGock of hair you said would prove

 Our lAove would never die

 And I sBming and sing of awful things

 The pleAasure that my sadness brings

 As my fiGngers press onto the strings

 Yet anAother clumsy chord

BmHaligh, Haligh, an awful lie

 This weAight would now be satisfied

 I'm gonna gGive you only one reply

 I kAnow not who I am

 But I Bmtalk in the miGrror

 To the strAanger that apDpears

 Our conversations are circlesG

 Always one siGded, nothing is clAear

 Except we kBmeep coming bGack

 To this meAaning that I lDack

 He says the choices were givenBm

 And now, you must lGive them

 Or just not liAve

 But do you want tBmhat?
