Verse:
F#mD
On the first page of a story
AE7
the future seemed so bright
F#mD
then this thing turned out so evil
AE7
I donʼt know why Iʼm still surprised
F#mD
even angels have their wicked schemes
AE7
and you take that to new extremes
F#mD
but youʼll always be my hero
AE7
even though youʼve lost your mind
Chorus:
F#mD
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
AE7
but thatʼs all right because I like the way it hurts
F#mD
just gonna stand there and hear me cry
AE7
but thatʼs all right because I love the way you lie
F#m
I love the way you lie
DAE7
Ohhh, I love the way you lie
Verse:
F#mD
Now thereʼs gravel in our voices
AE7
glass is shattered from the fight
F#mD
in this tug of war, youʼll always win
AE7
even when Iʼm right
F#mD
ʼcause you feed me fables from your hand
AE7
with violent words and empty threats
F#mD
and itʼs sick that all these battles
AE7
are what keeps me satisfied
Chorus:
F#mD
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
AE7
but thatʼs all right because I like the way it hurts
F#mD
just gonna stand there and hear me cry
AE7
but thatʼs all right because I love the way you lie
F#m
I love the way you lie
DAE7
Ohhh, I love the way you lie
Bridge:
F#mD
So maybe Iʼm a masochist
AE7
I try to run but I donʼt wanna ever leave
F#mD
til the walls are goinʼ up
AE7
in smoke with all our memories
Rap Part:
F#mD
This morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face
AE7
smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
F#mD
hush baby, speak softly, tell me Iʼll be sorry
AE7
that you pushed me into the coffee table last night
F#mD
so I can push you off me
AE7
try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
F#mD
run out the room and Iʼll follow you like a lost puppy
AE7
baby, without you, Iʼm nothing, Iʼm so lost, hug me
F#mD
then tell me how ugly I am, but that youʼll always love me
AE7
then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
F#mD
destructive path that weʼre on, two psychopaths but we
AE7
know that no matter how many knives we put in each otherʼs backs
F#mD
that weʼll have each otherʼs backs, ʼcause weʼre that lucky
AE7
together, we move mountains, letʼs not make mountains
F#mD
out of molehills,
AE7
you hit me twice, yeah, but whoʼs countinʼ?
F#mD
I may have hit you three times, Iʼm startinʼ to lose count
AE7
but together, weʼll live forever, we found the youth fountain
F#mD
our love is crazy, weʼre nuts, but I refused counselinʼ
AE7
this house is too huge, if you move out Iʼll burn all two thousand
F#mD
square feet of it to the ground, ainʼt shit you can do about it
AE7
with you Iʼm in my f-ckinʼ mind, without you, Iʼm out it
