Chords

[Verse 1]
E                               G#m
I'm not gonna lie to you anymore

F#                            E
After these lies, then no more

    E                          G#m
I never really loved you at all

         F#                       E
So just walk away and don't ever call

       E                               G#m
Your kiss, it never brought me to my knees

         F#                                 E
I didn't ache for you till my heart would cease

     E                               G#m
And time, it never slowed down over us

               F#                          E
When you were here with me, it was never thus
[Chorus]
E                                     G#m
Ooh, and my hand never dials up your number

                                F#
And it's not like I want you to wonder

                                   E
If I'm lost and I'm thinking of you

         E                               G#m
'Cause yes, I am fine and I'm finally clеarer

                                 F#
To understand what it is to be nеarer

                                   E
And that love is just pain in reverse

       E
And all these lies are mine

                    G#m
And they're the only thing that's fine

         F#                            E
And the only way I'll wear this for now

        E
'Cause when we meet again

            G#m
You won't see it in me then

              F#                            E
'Cause I've buried it in all that you're not
[Verse 2]
        E                                 G#m
And so all I've got are lies for you even now

              F#                      E
They're all carved in me, in the dust somehow

                  E                               G#m
So when I say I never felt the garden burst into life

                 F#                      E
When I looked at you, well, it must be true

              E                                   G#m
'Cause I've told myself a million times who you weren't

          F#                   E
So I can finally forget who you were

         E                                      G#m
'Cause if who you are is everything and I missed it

           F#                  E
How could I live now like some counterfeit?
[Chorus]
E                                       G#m
Ooh, and my hand never dials up your number

                         F#
And it's not like I want you to wonder

                                 E
If I'm lost and I'm thinking of you

         E                               G#m
'Cause, yes, I am fine and I'm finally clearer

                                 F#
To understand what it is to be nearer

                                  E
And that love is just pain in reverse

       E
And all these lies are mine

                   G#m
And they're the only thing that's fine

            F#                       E
And the only way I'll wear this for now

        E
And when we met again

              G#m
You won't see it in me then

              F#                           E
'Cause I've buried it in all that you're not
[Outro]
E                            G#m
I'm not gonna lie to you anymore

         F#                 E
After these lies, then no more
