VERSES:
G                   C     
  When I'm giving advice to others

G'                            G' G2' 
  I take more than I can give

     D     
This birds eye view

          C              D'             G  G4  G    G4 G
Of what I want you to do learn how to live

G                  C  
  And I really don't have to suffer

G'                     G' G2' 
  I still do it anyway

      D
I'm a diamond in the rough

         C           D'        G  G4 G
Or I'm a dirt clod in the clay

G             F
  Guess what?   I lost my job

Em                  Cm   Cm4  
  It's just my luck
G G4 G G G4 G
G                      C
  Reveal you've always been the actor

G'                          G' G2'
  With those puppy dog eyes

     D                
Well one of y'all is telling the truth

    C                D'   G
The other one is lying

G                     C
  It's someone else's fault so often

G'                                        G' G2'
  You're getting rude, you're getting tall

       D
It's a great big world

          C             D'            G 
your translation's just a little off

G          F       
  So what,   I made a mistake

Em              Cm      G
  to try to hiiide the tiny

F             Em     Cm
  The tiniest lie

                  G
gets a little bit larger everyday

   F                Em            Cm
It grows, 'til it's out of control
G G G G D C D G G C

  I try to tell them how to live

         D
A little lying, a bit of truth

            C                  D'
Is what I'd like for you to do and how to give
G G4 G G G4 G
G                     C
  And I really didn't need to suffer

G'                     G' G2'
  Still did it anyway

I better find some way to stay
