Standard (EADGBE)

 I had another drink after another drink

 and then I tried to crawl to the door

I had another smoke after another joke

 and then I couldn't take any more

It didn't change a thing, not any single thing

 when someone tried to tell me for sure

 I heard another voice that said I wasn't in a dream

 I read a word or two about everything

 I never knew the way that it oughta have been

 They never told me a thing about it

 I never did know a thing about it

 And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes

 they won't go away

 And the times that I tried are the times that

 I find they don't show today

 But you make me feel so good

I woke up after four, still lying on the floor,

and waiting to be carried away

I woke up once again, a little after ten,

will things be any better today

It doesn't change you see, it only changes me,

well someone tried to tell me I'm sure

I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream

I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between

I never knew the way that it oughta have been

They never told me a thing about it

I never did know a thing about it

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes,

they won't go away

And the times that I tried, are the times that

I find they don't show today

But you make me feel so good

I'm going back to school, I'm gonna check the rule,

and see if I get carried away

I'm going back again, I'm gonna try again,

don't listen what the people might say

It doesn't change a thing, not any single thing,

well someone tried to tell me for sure

I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream

I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between

I never knew the way that it oughta have been

They never told me a thing about it

I never did know a thing about it

 And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes

 they won't go away

 And the times that I tried are the times that

 I find they don't show today

 But you make me feel so good

I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream

I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between

I never knew the way that it oughta have been

They never told me a thing about it

I never did know a thing about it

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes,

they won't go away

And the times that I tried, are the times that

I find they don't show today

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes,

they won't go away

And the times that I tried, are the times that

I find they don't show today

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes,

they won't go away

And the times that I tried, are the times that

I find they don't show today

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes,

they won't go away

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes,

they won't go away
