Song: Truth Lies Low Artist: Andrew Bird Album: Are You Serious [Notes] - Studio version. Standard tuning with capo 3 to match how Andrew Bird plays it in a live video. - The Cmaj7 and Gmaj7 chords shown below would be too much on electric with distortion. Lose some high strings. - Substitute Cmaj7/G for Cmaj7 as you like. [Chords] Cmaj7/G 332000 Gmaj7 32403x (3240xx)

[Intro] Cmaj7 Gmaj7 x2 [Verse 1]
                Cmaj7
Here's a little game

             Gmaj7
You can play alone

                      Cmaj7
Oh you do the walk of shame

                         Gmaj7
From the comfort of your home

                  Cmaj7
So here's another game

             Gmaj7
You can play along

                         Cmaj7
Where you empty all your blame

                 Gmaj7
From your guilty bones
[Chorus]
       D         D         G          Cmaj7/G
Oh the eyes, the eyes, the eyes, they know  (The eyes, they know)

       D        D    G         Cmaj7/G
Like a thousand tiny suns that glow (And they're burnin' a hole)

       Bm7       Bm7       Am7        Em
Oh the eyes, the eyes, the eyes, they know

      A          C
While truth lies low

      A      C   Riff 1
While truth lies low

N.C.              Cmaj7
So here's another game...
[Instrumental] Cmaj7 Gmaj7 x3 [Verse 2]
  Cmaj7
Fools are taking aim

                          Gmaj7
They got pistols in their phones

          Cmaj7
How the sheen is on the wane

               Gmaj7
We got plastic in our stones
[Chorus]
       D         D         G          Cmaj7/G
Oh the lies, the lies, the lies, they grow (The lies, they grow)

       D        D    G      Cmaj7/G
Like a thousand tributaries flow (The eyes, they know)

       Bm7       Bm7       Am7        Em
Oh the eyes, the eyes, the eyes, they know

      A          C
While truth lies low

      A       C     G   B7
While truth li-es li-es lo-w
[Bridge]
C                  G    B7
Vitriol from their pens flows

 C                G    B7
Anonymously their hate crows

       C                A
But at least they care enough

   D                B7
At least they care enough

   C                         D
At least they care enough to let you know
[Instrumental] (repeat until fade out) Cmaj7 Gmaj7
