G                           Cm          G
You can see yourself in the side mirror

        Em
Tossing your hair

C            Am 
If no one is there

C          Am
Why do you care

G                                Cm         G
Though I let you think there was no witness to

       Em
All of your crimes

C                 Am
  I knew what you were

C               Am
  A climber who climbs
[CHORUS]
    G         Em
I’m living a lie

C               Am
  You’re living it too

C                 Am
  Cause I live it with you

    G          Bm
I’m living a lie

Em              Am
  A lie I can’t tell

      G          F            Am
So we wait for a crack in the shell
[VERSE TWO]
G                            Cm      G
No one bears a grudge like a boy genius

          Em
Just past his prime

C             Am
  Gilding his cage

C            Am
  A bar at a time

    G                        Cm         G
For every open arm there's a cold shoulder

        Em
Waiting to turn

C           Am
  People to blame

C            Am
  Bridges to burn
[CHORUS]
    G         Em
I’m living a lie

C               Am
  You’re living it too

C                 Am
  Cause I live it with you

    G          Bm
I’m living a lie

Em              Am
  A lie I can’t tell

      G          F            Am
So we wait for a crack in the shell
[BRIDGE]
  C             G        C               
A girl comes around at a time when your ground

      G        F           C
Is as shaky as leaves on a tree

   Am        G         C      Am
Creating for you a persona or two

      G           F      C
Or an out-and-out mythology

            Am       G             C
Now there’s too many cooks but you like how it looks

             G          F            C
When they’re bowing and calling you “boss”

        Am          G          C           Am
But the powers that were, were invested in her

        G             F      C       Am
And now winning means taking    a loss
[CHORUS]
    G         Em
I’m living a lie

C               Am
  You’re living it too

C                 Am
  Cause I live it with you

    G          Bm
I’m living a lie

Em              Am
  A lie I can’t tell

      G          F            Am
So we wait for a crack in the shell

        G          F            Am
Yeah we wait for a crack in the shell
