Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 You, You knew how to soothe me

 Like the sound of rain on a sleepy afternoon

 You made me a believer

 That this love was worth fallin into

 It was good for a while

 Then the smoke finally cleared

 All those sweet little words

 That you whispered in my ear

 All those perfect promises

 They all disappeared....

Chorus

 I'd rather face some lonely nights

 Have a couple long hard cries

 Even fall apart inside

 Than be wrapped up in your gorgeous lies

 Everything I thought I knew

 That was never really you

 I'd rather face the bitter truth

 Than be wrapped up in your gorgeous lies...

 I, I found out the hard way

 Never saw it til the end

Oh, beautiful deception

 Clouded everything you said

 Baby you hit me hard

 Left me achin inside

 Now I've gotta heal

 My broken down pride

 And forgive myself

 For bein so blind

Chorus

Istrumental (same pattern as chorus)

 Now what I won't be missin is

 All your pretty fiction

Chorus

 Everything I thought I knew

 That was never really you

 I'd rather face the bitter truth

 Than be wrapped up in your gorgeous lies
