Ezra Furman – Compulsive Liar (Guitar)

C
I've got one fatal flaw:

C
I'm a compulsive liar

F
If I don't love you,

       C
I will tell you anything

C
And even if I love you

C
I'll always be conniving

F                    C
I'll always be negotiating with the truth

G
And I can trace the habit

F         Fm7
To when I was eleven

Am            Em
And I thought boys were pretty

      F                G
And I couldn't tell no one

C
It opens at a young age:

C
That all-protective closet

F
Just lock the door

           G
And settle in among the raincoats

C
The longer you stay in there

    C
The more you'll get distorted

F                           C
The more contorted all your lies will have to be

G
Don't wait a moment longer:

F            Fm7
Stand up and turn the doorknob

Am            Em
And I'll tell you my secret

   F        G          C
If you will tell me yours
