Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Verse:
         F#m            D
On the first page of a story
      A                   E
the future seemed so bright
          F#m                    D
then this thing turned out so evil
                A                E
I donʼt know why Iʼm still surprised
       F#m                D
even angels have their wicked schemes
           A            E
and you take that to new extremes
            F#m             D
but youʼll always be my hero
        A                      E
even though youʼve lost your mind

Chorus:
              F#m                     D
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
               A                                E
but thatʼs all right because I like the way it hurts
              F#m                   D
just gonna stand there and hear me cry
                A                               E
but thatʼs all right because I love the way you lie
                   F#m
I love the way you lie
    D                    A  E
Ohhh, I love the way you lie

Verse:
         F#m            D
Now thereʼs gravel in our voices
      A                   E
glass is shattered from the fight
         F#m            D
in this tug of war, youʼll always win
      A          E
even when Iʼm right
         F#m            D
ʼcause you feed me fables from your hand
      A                   E
with violent words and empty threats
         F#m            D
and itʼs sick that all these battles
      A                  E
are what keeps me satisfied

Chorus:
              F#m                     D
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
               A                                E
but thatʼs all right because I like the way it hurts
              F#m                   D
just gonna stand there and hear me cry
                A                               E
but thatʼs all right because I love the way you lie
                   F#m
I love the way you lie
    D                    A  E
Ohhh, I love the way you lie

Bridge:
    F#m          D
So maybe Iʼm a masochist
  A              E
I try to run but I donʼt wanna ever leave
F#m              D
til the walls are goinʼ up
   A                     E
in smoke with all our memories

Rap Part:
    F#m          D
This morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face
   A                     E
smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
    F#m          D
hush baby, speak softly, tell me Iʼll be sorry
   A                     E
that you pushed me into the coffee table last night
    F#m          D
so I can push you off me
   A                     E
try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
    F#m          D
run out the room and Iʼll follow you like a lost puppy
   A                     E
baby, without you, Iʼm nothing, Iʼm so lost, hug me
    F#m          D
then tell me how ugly I am, but that youʼll always love me
   A                     E
then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
    F#m          D
destructive path that weʼre on, two psychopaths but we
   A                     E
know that no matter how many knives we put in each otherʼs backs
    F#m          D
that weʼll have each otherʼs backs, ʼcause weʼre that lucky
   A                     E
together, we move mountains, letʼs not make mountains
    F#m        D
out of molehills,
   A                     E
you hit me twice, yeah, but whoʼs countinʼ?
    F#m          D
I may have hit you three times, Iʼm startinʼ to lose count
   A                     E
but together, weʼll live forever, we found the youth fountain
    F#m          D
our love is crazy, weʼre nuts, but I refused counselinʼ
   A                     E
this house is too huge, if you move out Iʼll burn all two thousand
    F#m          D
square feet of it to the ground, ainʼt shit you can do about it
   A                     E
with you Iʼm in my f-ckinʼ mind, without you, Iʼm out it
