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
