Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

You, You knew how to soothe me

Like the sound of rain on a sleepy afternoon

You made me a believer

That this love was worth fallin into

It was good for a while

Then the smoke finally cleared

All those sweet little words

That you whispered in my ear

All those perfect promises

They all disappeared....

Chorus

I'd rather face some lonely nights

Have a couple long hard cries

Even fall apart inside

Than be wrapped up in your gorgeous lies

Everything I thought I knew

That was never really you

I'd rather face the bitter truth

Than be wrapped up in your gorgeous lies...

I, I found out the hard way

Never saw it til the end

Oh, beautiful deception

Clouded everything you said

Baby you hit me hard

Left me achin inside

Now I've gotta heal

My broken down pride

And forgive myself

For bein so blind

Chorus

Istrumental (same pattern as chorus)

Now what I won't be missin is

All your pretty fiction

Chorus

Everything I thought I knew

That was never really you

I'd rather face the bitter truth

Than be wrapped up in your gorgeous lies
