Key: D
Introduction: D
D A G D
I've been trying to quantify
D A G
All of the wrong that one can pack into a lie
D A G D
And I've been trying to put on a scale
D A G
Just how bad all of that wrong should make me feel
Bm A
'Cos they told me once when I was young
G D
That liars are as liars do
A D
And if you do, it's off to Hell with you
G D
No smiling, kid, I speak the truth
Bm A
But I've a sneaking feeling they were liars too
G D
So logically, then, we're all hypocrites
Bm A D
But does it make it better or make it worse to be aware of it?
D A G D
I'm convincing myself that it's all relative
D A G
And if there's a God, when He forgives, I think He must consider it
D A G D
I've been noticing confusion in the laws he made
D A G
The nature of the truth and where it bends and where it breaks
Bm A
And where I twisted it to my benefit
G D
When this man said he was in love with me
A D
And I thought that he was dumb to be
G D
So I pretended that I was asleep
Bm A
Called it free will what he willed to believe
G D
And it ended, so I guess it's just as well
G A D
But that's why sometimes I think I might go to Hell
Bm A
And I worry too, how I never mentioned to you
G D
How I drove your car while you were gone
A D
A mile with the parking brake still on
D
'Cos it seems to me, you wait too long
Bm A
You may as well have not meant well all along
G D
So I'm hoping hard if it's the thought that counts
G A D- D7
That you don't ever have to know what I think about
G D
And that every soul can always fit thought Heaven's door
Bm A D
With the weight of things it never told anyone before.
