Graham Nash – Liars Nightmare (Guitar)

N.C.               Dm    C                      Dm
I have always been here      And I'll always be there

                         C                     Dm
I can honestly tell you    That I really don't care

                             C                       Dm
If all the babies are broken   And the old folks are blind

          C           G/B          Bb             Dm
There's a hole in my heart  But I know you don't mind

N.C.               Dm      C                    Dm
If I laugh at the cripples    And I cry for the clowns

                          C                    Dm
And I welcome the madness   That I see coming down

                       C                  Dm
And I have no opinions    So I feel no remorse

       C             G/B             Bb         Dm
I can see the Black Knight    Riding up on his horse

N.C.                       Dm    C                  Dm
And there's fire in his nostrils   And blood in his eyes

                              C                 Dm
And he's looking at you, kid     As he races on by

                            C                             Dm
So watch out for his hooves   They're gonna kill you for sure

          C           G/B             Bb         Dm
He's got some kind of sickness   That no man can cure

N.C.                       Dm   C                  Dm
And his breath it will burn you   And put out your eyes

                            C                    Dm
He'll tear out your tongues    So you can't even cry

                         C                    Dm
That your body is broken   And your spirit is dead

          C           G/B               Bb             Dm
And you hope against hope   That it's a bad dream you had

N.C.                  Dm    C                     Dm
About a meeting with Elvis    At the back of the store

                                  C                   Dm
You're both shoveling plasticware    Right out of the door

                            C                   Dm
And the men who control you    Keep yelling for more, more, more, more

     C           G/B                Bb             Dm
You pay all your taxes     But you don't know what for

N.C.                         Dm    C                      Dm
'Cause nothing seems to get better    Things seem to get worse

                            C                      Dm
We're all living in danger     From a politician's curse

                              C                     Dm
All promises have been broken    All lips have been read

          C           G/B          Bb             Dm
Well the mouth has spoken    But nothing's been said

N.C.                Dm        C                      Dm
The dream has been shattered    The flags have been burned

                               C                      Dm
You better make up your minds    From whatever you've learned

                         C                           Dm
About your family values    And the way they've been scorned

      C                G/B             Bb                  Dm
Some babies have been battered    Way before they've been born

N.C.           Dm    C                  Dm
Some call me a liar    Some call me a thief

                                  C                 Dm
But the way that I look at things   I can't get no relief

                       C               Dm
So I went to a meeting    Spoke out of fear

             C              G/B          Bb           Dm
They said, "Thank you for sharing    Now why are you here?"

N.C.                 Dm      C            Dm
I said: everything's shaking    Including myself

                        C                Dm
I keep all my feelings    High up on a shelf

                               C                       Dm
And I can't seem to reach them   But I know they were there

      C             G/B               Bb          Dm
I'm trapped in this vacuum    And I'm gasping for air

N.C.             Dm     C                  Dm
Some people get better    Some people just fold

                          C                 Dm
Some people rise above it   Or so I've been told

                       C                     Dm
So I started to leave    I was searching for more

               C           G/B          Bb                  Dm
They caught ahold of my sleeve    But I slipped through the door

N.C.               Dm    C                      Dm
I ran back to the office    With my back to the wall

                          C                  Dm
When I came to my senses     I had no one to call

                          C                Dm
So I called up the doctor    He told me to lie

              C           G/B                 Bb             Dm
He said, "Get out of this nightmare    Or you surely will die?

N.C.                  Dm       C                Dm
So I forced myself to wake up     And opened my eyes

                           C                 Dm
But the man in the mirror    Was there in disguise

                        C              Dm
He was playing his part   Living in a trance

  C               G/B          Bb                 Dm
Sentenced to be a witness    'Cause he had no defense

N.C.                      Dm   C                         Dm
The anesthetic is wearing thin   And you're starting to sweat

                        C                     Dm
And you finally realize    That it ain't over yet

                                   C                       Dm
'Cause the way you've been feeling   They must have hit a nerve

            C           G/B          Bb             Dm
I know it's not what you want   But it's what you deserve

N.C.             Dm    C              Dm
The operation is over    Listen to me please

                        C             Dm
I'm begging forgiveness    Down on my knees

                             C                   Dm
Coming back to consciousness    I was out of my head

          C       G/B            Bb         Dm
Well the dream is over   And I'm back in my bed

N.C.             Dm    C                    Dm
I've always been here    And I'll always be there

                        C                  Dm
I can honestly tell you   That I really do care

                           C                       Dm
I gotta tell you the truth   About the sadness I find

       C         G/B                     Bb             Dm   C   Dm
I have opened my heart to you     And I hope you don't mind
