Dm           Em             C
You can wash out your lying eyes

Dm     Em                C
in the bathroom down the hall.

Dm        Em              C
I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

  Dm             Em          C
I guess I didn't know you at all.

      Bm                                 F#m
I can picture you inside some stranger's house,

F#m
inside some stranger's bed --

       A
you're trying to seem mysterious,

    E
the covers pulled over your head.

     A7              D
It's all right, lady liberty,

              G                                D
it's just too bad you couldn't do the same for me.

Dm                  Em                  C
You say you've been used, you've been betrayed

Dm                 Em               C
Yeah, and that old bed's been newly made

Dm              Em                C
You just stick around awhile with me

Dm           Em               C
Until you're strong enough to leave

              Bm
Because I can picture you the first time

    F#m
You decide to spend the night

           A
You wonder if you should give me a call

    E
And ask me if it's alright

           A7            D
Yeah, it's alright, lady liberty

              G                                D
It's just too bad you couldn't do the same for me

Am                       Em       Dm
Don't call me or send me any more letters, baby.

Am                               Em
I just can't stand to see your hand

                              Am
writing things that you don't mean.

Am                  Em           Dm
I waited, our faded love growing even more faded.

Am                                Em
The shades were down, I faced the wall,

Em
and I could hear you breathing.

Dm         Em               C
I tried to bring us back to life

Dm        Em            C
I gave my heart so many times

Dm         Em             C
And was it worth it after all?

Dm         Em                C
There is a bathroom down the hall

Dm         Em                C
There is a bathroom down the hall

Dm         Em                C
There is a bathroom down the hall

      Dm             Em          C
And I guess I didn't know you at all

  Dm             Em          C
I guess I didn't know you at all

     Em
Lady liberty, liberty, liberty

                   Dm
Maybe it's time to leave
