[Em] [G]
Can't ever get it right
No matter how hard I [A] try
And I try
[G] Well I put up a good fight
But your words cut like [A] knives
And I'm tired
[Em] As you [Eb] break my [D] heart again [A] this time
[G] Tell me [C] I'm a screwed up mess
[Em] That I'm [D] never listening, listen
[G] Tell me you don't want my kiss
[Em] That you [D] need your distance, distance
[G] Tell me anything but don't you [Em] say
It's what [D] you're missing, baby
[G] Here's the reason that you're leaving me tonight
[Em] Tell me what [D] you're thinking
Tell me [G] you lie
Well you're the charming type
That little twinkle in your [A] eye
Hits me every [Am] time
And
[G] while there must have been a time
I was the reason for that [A] smile
So keep in [Am] mind
[Em] As you [Eb] take
[D] What's left of you [Em] and I
[G] Tell me I'm a screwed up mess
[Em] That I'm [D] never listening, listen
[G] Tell me you don't want my [Em] kiss
That you [D] need your distance, distance
[G] Tell me anything but don't [Em] you say
It's what [D] you're missing, baby
[G] Here's the reason that you're leaving me tonight
[Em] Tell me what you're thinking
[D]
Tell me [C] you lie
[E]
Tell me [Em] you lie
Tell me [C] you lie
[E]
[A] [G]
Tell me I'm a screwed up mess
That I'm never listening, listen
Tell me you don't want my [Em] kiss
That you [D] need your distance, [G] distance
Tell me [C] anything but don't [Em] you say
It's what [D] you're missing, baby
[G] Here's the reason that you're leaving [C] me tonight
[Em] Tell me what [D] you're thinking
Tell me [G] you lie
[G]
Tell me [Em] you lie

Tell me [G] you lie
Tell me [Em] you lie
[D]
Tell me you lie
