Chords
Band: White Lies
Song: Denial
Album: Five
Tips: 1. Like many of their songs, use only downstrokes for that sense of urgency.
2. Only play the root notes of the chords during the verses to
imitate the bass and save room to amp up the energy in the chorus.
3. The bass does walk ups/downs between the main notes; listen to the song for those.
[Verse 1]
G You look from the roof to the smoke on good nights Em Tall dreams at the beck of the stars seem alright C Your heart aglow, 'Cause you know, you know, it was all raised up for G your life, for your eyes G You live in the quiet that was sewn for good wives Em Four kids with the cat, might as well be called five C Oh, you know, you know, it's all for show; the city winks at G your smile; it's your style
[Chorus 1]
Em You know it's not denial C G Not denial, not denial Em Time is a fickle thrill C G It's not denial, not denial F And there's a kind of heat D You leave behind when you go Em It's not denial C G Not denial, not denial
[Verse 2]
G You lust for a love with the feel of old shoes Em Great highs never brand, but the lows are all bruised C They know, they know, 'cause a childhood shows G A prize is hard to refuse, no excuse G You swear you'll come home in the week of New Year Em No leaves on the oaks, oh, the past is too near C Oh, you know, you know, how they miss you so G Wish you all the best with old tears, with old fears
[Chorus 2]
Em You know it's not denial C G Not denial, not denial Em Time is a fickle thrill C G It's not denial, not denial F And there's a kind of heat D You leave behind when you go Em It's not denial C G Not denial, not denial
