[Verse 1]
E            C#m            G#7               A
I swore that I'd become a better man for you and I tried
E          C#m               G#7                 A
Tried to change my ways and walk the line you follow
E         C#m                  G#7                  A
I bore a flame that burned a thousand suns for you but it died
E       C#m            G#7            A
Told you I could never love somebody else but I lied
 
E G#7 A         E
  Mmm-mm, I lied
E G#7 A         E
  Mmm-mm, I lied
 
E C#m G#7 A
E C#m G#7 A
E C#m G#7 A
E C#m G#7 A
 
[Verse 2]
E          C#m           G#7                 A
I told you I'd be coming back again for you but I'm not
E         C#m                G#7               A
I'm going way out where the world will never find me
E         C#m                G#7                     A
I made a claim that I would dance until we're bones with my bride
E         C#m             G#7            A
I told you I would never leave you all alone but I lied
 
[Break]
C#m      E               A
    Ooh-hoo, Ohh hoo-oo Ooh 
C#m      E               A
    Ooh-hoo, Ohh hoo-oo Ooh
 
[Verse 3]
E            C#m            G#7                A
I read your letter in the morning by the lake and I cried
E          C#m              G#7                 A
They were tears of joy, my chains are finally broken
E        C#m           G#7                     A
I made a vow to stand beside you 'til the day that I die
E       C#m            G#7                     A
Told you I could never live without your love but I lied
 
E G#7 A     E
  Mmm-mm, I lied
E G#7 A     E
  Mmm-mm, I lied
E G#7 A     E
  Mmm-mm, I lied
E G#7 A     E
  Mmm-mm, I lied
E G#7 A     E
  Mmm-mm, I lied
E G#7 A
  Mmm-mm, I lied
