Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 (Or --------- when Reina plays live).

Emily, I need to ask you

 'Cause you would know better than I

 If telling the truth would mean breaking his heart

 Would it be better to lie?

 I've been keeping the peace with my silence

 And I know he believes that I'll stay

 But life won't stop dealing me

 Cards full of feeling

  (Play instead of this last live!)

And I just can't throw them away

 I would pray to the lord for forgiveness

 If I thought he could still hear my voice

 But what I need more

 Is a way out the door

 From all of this falseness tonight. (Oh, and)

Emily, I need to ask you

 'Cause you would know better than I

 If telling the truth would mean breaking his heart

 Would it be better to lie?

 (D---------A7) (guitar solo: Toni)

At this point in time I'm still walking

 Walking alone by his side

 But we're getting close

 To the end of the rope

 Where my needs and my conscience collide. (Oh, and)

Emily, I need to ask you

 'Cause you would know better than I

 If telling the truth would mean breaking his heart

 Would it be better to lie?

 If telling the truth would mean breaking his heart

 Would it be better to lie?

VERSION 2:

Of course, you can change the chords of the version 1 by:

But it is also pleasant to play Emily this way.
