Hey, this is my transcription of the song "I Lied" by Lord Huron feat. Allison Ponthier.
It might not be 100% accurate, but i tabbed this out in about an hour by ear.
The lead guitar for the intro and break between the verses are usually played on a Lap-Steel-Guitar
but to be honest, it sounds just fine with a normal guitar and a bottleneck!
You can play the Rhythm-guitar in several ways, I tabbed two out. One without
a capodaster and one with the capodaster on the fith fret. Both ways sound
fine, it's just a preference of playability.

[Verse 1]
I swore that I'd become a better man for you and I tried
I tried to change my ways and walk the line you follow
I bore a flame that burned a thousand suns for you but it died
I told you I could never love somebody else but I lied

[Verse 2]
I told you I'd be coming back again for you but I'm not
I'm going way out where the world will never find me
I made a claim that I would dance until we're bones with my bride
I told you I would never leave you all alone but I lied

[Verse 3]
I read your letter in the morning by the lake and I cried
They were tears of joy, my chains are finally broken
I made a vow to stand beside you 'til the day that I die
Told you I could never live without your love but I lied
