Verse:
GmD#
On the first page of a story
A#F7
the future seemed so bright
GmD#
then this thing turned out so evil
A#F7
I donʼt know why Iʼm still surprised
GmD#
even angels have their wicked schemes
A#F7
and you take that to new extremes
GmD#
but youʼll always be my hero
A#F7
even though youʼve lost your mind
Chorus:
GmD#
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
A#F7
but thatʼs all right because I like the way it hurts
GmD#
just gonna stand there and hear me cry
A#F7
but thatʼs all right because I love the way you lie
Gm
I love the way you lie
D#A#F7
Ohhh, I love the way you lie
Verse:
GmD#
Now thereʼs gravel in our voices
A#F7
glass is shattered from the fight
GmD#
in this tug of war, youʼll always win
A#F7
even when Iʼm right
GmD#
ʼcause you feed me fables from your hand
A#F7
with violent words and empty threats
GmD#
and itʼs sick that all these battles
A#F7
are what keeps me satisfied
Chorus:
GmD#
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
A#F7
but thatʼs all right because I like the way it hurts
GmD#
just gonna stand there and hear me cry
A#F7
but thatʼs all right because I love the way you lie
Gm
I love the way you lie
D#A#F7
Ohhh, I love the way you lie
Bridge:
GmD#
So maybe Iʼm a masochist
A#F7
I try to run but I donʼt wanna ever leave
GmD#
til the walls are goinʼ up
A#F7
in smoke with all our memories
Rap Part:
GmD#
This morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face
A#F7
smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
GmD#
hush baby, speak softly, tell me Iʼll be sorry
A#F7
that you pushed me into the coffee table last night
GmD#
so I can push you off me
A#F7
try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
GmD#
run out the room and Iʼll follow you like a lost puppy
A#F7
baby, without you, Iʼm nothing, Iʼm so lost, hug me
GmD#
then tell me how ugly I am, but that youʼll always love me
A#F7
then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
GmD#
destructive path that weʼre on, two psychopaths but we
A#F7
know that no matter how many knives we put in each otherʼs backs
GmD#
that weʼll have each otherʼs backs, ʼcause weʼre that lucky
A#F7
together, we move mountains, letʼs not make mountains
GmD#
out of molehills,
A#F7
you hit me twice, yeah, but whoʼs countinʼ?
GmD#
I may have hit you three times, Iʼm startinʼ to lose count
A#F7
but together, weʼll live forever, we found the youth fountain
GmD#
our love is crazy, weʼre nuts, but I refused counselinʼ
A#F7
this house is too huge, if you move out Iʼll burn all two thousand
GmD#
square feet of it to the ground, ainʼt shit you can do about it
A#F7
with you Iʼm in my f-ckinʼ mind, without you, Iʼm out it
