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.
