[Verse 1]
[Am]Uh,[F][Am][F]
[Am]and he n[F]ever l[Am]ies,
[G][Dm][Am][F]
[Am][F][Am]
[G]uh [Am]yeah
He just sits,
and watches the people in the boxes
Everything he sees he absorbs
and adopts it
He mimics and he mocks it
Really hates [G]the box but he can't
re[Dm]member how to stop, [Am]it
Uh, so he continues to watch it
Hoping that it'll give him somethin
that he can box with
Or how the locksmith, see the box as,
locked in the [G]box
Ain't got the combin[Dm]ation to unlock,
[Am]it
That's why he watch-es,
scared scared to look away
'Cause at that moment,
it might show [G]him
What to [Am]take off the locks with
So he chained himsel[G]f to the box,
[Dm]took a lock and then he locked it
[Am]Swallowed the combination
and then forgot, it
As the doctors jot it all [G]down,
with they [Am]pens and pencils
The same ones that took
away his [G]voice
And just left this instrumental, like [Am]that
And [F]he never lies

[Verse 2]
[Am](he never lies,
he never [F]lies, uh)
[Am]And [F]he n[G]ever lies (uh, he never [Dm]lies,
[Am]he never[F] lies, no)
[Am]And he never lies
[F](he never lies)
'Cause he [Am]never [F]said [G]anything at [Dm]all
[G]He just

[Verse 3]
[Am]sits,
and listens to the people in the boxes
Everything he hears he absorbs
and adopts it
Anything not comin out the box he blocks it
See [G]he loves the box and hope
[Dm]they never stop it
[Am]Anything the box tell him to do, he [G]does it
Any[Am]thing it tell him to get,
he shops and he cops it
He protects the box, locks it in a box
When he [G]goes to sleep,
but he [Dm]never sleeps
'Cause [Am]he stays up to watch
it, scared to look away
'Cause at that moment,
it might get stolen
And that's the last of the boxes
So he chained himsel[G]f to the box,
[Dm]took a lock and then he locked [Am]it
Swallowed the combination
and then forgot, it
As the doctors jot it all down,
with they pens and pencils
The same ones that took
away his [G]voice
And just left this instrumental, like [Am]that
And [F]he never lies

[Verse 4]
[Am](he never lies,
he [F]never lies, uh)
[Am]And [F]he n[G]ever lies (uh, he never [Dm]lies,
[Am]he never [F]lies, no)[Am]
And he never [F]lies (he never lies)
'Cause he [Am]never said
[F]anything at [G]all

[Verse 5]
(Anything at [G]all) He never [Am]lies
Uh, and you can't tell me
just who you [G]are
You buyin' them clothes just
to hide those [F]scars
You built that roof just to [Am]hide
those [G]stars
Now you can't take
it back to [Am]the start
And you can't tell me just
who you [G]are
You buyin' them clothes
just to hide those [F]scars
You [Am]built that roof just to hide
those stars
Now you can't take it back [G]to the start

[Verse 6]
[Am]And he never lies [F](he [Am]never lies,
he [F]never lies, uh)
[Am]And [F]he n[G]ever lies (uh, he neve[Dm]r lies[G],
[Am]he never [F]lies, no)[Am]
And he never [F]lies (he never
lies)
[Am]'Cause he never [F]said
anything [G]at all
[Em](Anything at all,

[Verse 7]
[Am]any thing at all)
Uh, and you can't tell me
just who you are
You buy new clothes just
to hide those scars
You built that roof just
to hide those stars
Now you can't take
it back to the start
And you can't tell me
just who you are
You buy new clothes just
to hide those scars
You built that roof just [G]to hide[Am]
