_ _ [F#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[Bm] He [F#] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
[E] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[Bm] sits all [F#m] alone, [Bm] playing his [F#m] guitar, [Bm] in the back [F#m] of a small [Bm] cafe.
_ [F#m] _
[Bm] No one seems [F#m] to hear, [Bm] so he closes [F#m] his eyes, [G] just lets [D] the music [F#] take him [Bm] away. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
Singing songs [D] of love, _ _ [G] _
songs of [F#] broken hearts.
_ [Bm] He's wore [E] out his luck, [Bm] and his last pair [E] of jeans, [Bm] but you keep [E] going on.
When [Bm] you're living [E] on dreams, [G] you can feel [D] it inside.
[F#] And the guitar _ [Bm] don't lie, [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[F#] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ [Bm] there's a lady [F#m] he knows, [Bm] who often [F#m] comes by.
[Bm] She's heavily [F#m] into [Bm] the blues, [F#m] _ [Bm] she requests [F#m] the same [Bm] song every [F#m] night.
[G] Says it [D] reminds her [F#] of someone [Bm] she knew. _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ Trace of [D] her perfume, _ _ [G] _ floats across [F#] the room.
_ _ [Bm] Once they [E] were close, [Bm] shared all [E] their dreams.
[Bm] But now all that [E] he feels is [Bm] a physical [E] thing, [G] they grow slowly [D] apart.
[F#] The guitar don't [Bm] _ [F#m] lie, _
[Bm] _ [F#m] no no.
[Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _

[Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ [Bm] Sometimes it [F#m] hits home, [Bm] and makes him [F#m] aware, [Bm] the time [F#m] is slipping [Bm] away.
_ [F#m] _ _ [Bm] If you [F#m] look close, [Bm] it is darker [F#m] than hair.
_ [G] Under [D] the lights, [F#] there's traces [Bm] of grey. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ But he knows [D] what it's all about, to [G] _ feel down [F#] and out.
_ [Bm] He's been there [E] before, _ [Bm] he's seen [E] it all.
[Bm] And you learn to [E] survive, when [Bm] you're back to [E] the wall.
[G] It's a crazy [D] old life, [F#] and the guitar _ [Bm] don't lie, [F#m] _ [Bm] no no.
