Lies Tell The Best Truth Of All Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Well, the drink's almost finished
and the [F]liquor store's closed
And the [C]girl with the checkbook's
[Am]gone [G]out of business
There's a [C]book on the table,
[F]she says it must be read
The [C]hashtag's been torn
and the [G]author's dead
And the [F]lampshade throws shadows
to [C]help you forget
But you [D]came to a halt
and you're [G]even dead
And [F]we know it's all lies in the first [C]place
Is it bet[F]ter to stand or to fall
[C]When you[F] don't want to hurt anybody
[C]Lie[Am]s tel[G]l the best truth[F] of all[C]
There's a dead guitar dancer,
[F]sparks in her eyes
Her [C]mouth is so perfect,
she'll [G]blow your first prize
As the [C]pit and the pendulum beat [F]like a clock
I [C]searched for a single [G]thunder drop
As the [F]carriage was weighed
and I fought [C]against time
I was [D]left with a pump and a [G]bottle of wine
But we know [F]it's all lies in the first [C]place
Is it bet[F]ter to stand or [C]to fall
When [F]you don't want to
hurt any[C]body[Am]
[G]Lies tell the be[F]st truths of [C]all
There's a heated discussion
on Rus[F]sian -made steel
Now [C]Greece from Bagoya
can't ex[G]press what they feel
As the [C]missionary helpers said,
[F]look to the poor
[C]In walks a communist
with his [G]failsafe cure
It's a [F]chance, a tax dodge,
a small [C]fee to join
You can [D]double your risk
at the [G]flip of a coin
Yeah, but we're [F]on lowest slides
in the first [C]place
Is it bet[F]ter to stand or [C]to fall
When [F]you don't want
to hurt any[C]body[Am]
[G]Lies tell the be[F]st truth of [C]all
And [F]you don't want to
hurt any[C]body[Am]
[G]Lies tell the be[F]st truth of [C]all
