Lies I Chose To Believe by John Moreland
Lies I Chose To Believe
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G Bm G D x2
[Verse 1]
G Bm
Well I've gone and lost my faith in photographs
D G D
Cursed those martyrs that mark my past
G Bm
And I long for a day when we'll look back and laugh
D G
About all this
G Bm
But good luck finding your peace of mind
D A G D
Being born into these brutal times
G Bm D
And these days I don't pray when I close my eyes
A G
I just bite my tongue a bit harder
[Chorus 1]
D A G
Cause you were a lie I chose to believe
D A G D
A lie I chose to believe
[Verse 2]
G Bm
Let's float these gutters up past heaven's gate
D G D
Get me out of these damn desert states
G Bm
Did you hear the one about the hand of fate?
A G
Oh man, It'll make your heart stop
G Bm
Do you ever wish you could just back out?
D A G D
Take your nickels and go cash out?
G Bm
Forget the faces you've been crying about
D G
And see where forgiveness takes you?
[Chorus 2]
D A G
a lie I chose to believe
D A G D
You were the lie I chose to believe
[Bridge]
A
Sweet surrender like the break of dawn
G D
With the map laid out and the arrows drawn
A
But I think too much and wait too long
G D
And I never tell but you know
D Bm A
How to lift me when I sink too low
[Verse 3]
G Bm
Now I've found me a reason to be a man
D G D
Out on the shoulder with an outstretched hand
G Bm
Just a little solid ground to stand
D A G
Is all I ever needed
G Bm
So I'll shout it out from the heavens above
D G D
Hell ain't nothin' but the devil's drug
G Bm
Well love isn't the sickness, that I once thought it was
D A G
When I was too surrounded to see
[Chorus 3]
D A G
a lie I chose to believe
D A G
a lie I chose to believe
D A G
you were the lie I chose to believe
