[Intro]
Em C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
G D
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Em C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
G D
But that's alright because I love the way you lie,
D
I love the way you lie
[Verse]
Em
I can't tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like
C
And right now, there's a steel knife in my windpipe
G
I can't breathe, but I still fight while I can fight
D
As long as the wrong feels right, it's like I'm in flight
Em
High off of love, drunk from my hate,
C
it's like I'm huffin' paint and I love it, the more I suffer, I suffocate
G
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates
D
Me, she fuckin' hates me, and I love it, Wait!
Em
Where you going? I'm leaving you. No you ain't,
C G
Come back. We're running right back, here we go again, it's so insane
Cuz when it's going good, it's going great
D
I'm Superman with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane
Em
But when and it's bad, it's awful, I feel so ashamed,
C
I snap "Who's that dude?", I don't even know his name
G
I laid hands on her, I'll never stoop so low again
D
I guess I don't know my own strength
[Chorus]
Em C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
G D
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Em C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
G D
But that's alright because I love the way you lie,
Em C
I love the way you lie
G D
I love the way you lie
[Verse 2]
Em
You ever love somebody so much, you can barely breathe when you're with 'em?
C
You meet, and neither one of you even know what hit 'em
G
Got that warm fuzzy feeling, yeah them chills, used to get 'em
D
Now you're gettin' fuckin' sick of lookin' at 'em
Em
You swore you'd never hit 'em, never do nothin' to hurt 'em
C
Now you're in each other's face spewing venom in your words when you spit 'em
G
You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em
D
Throw 'em down, pin 'em, so lost in the moments when you're in 'em
Em
It's the face that's the culprit, it controls you both
C
So they say, you'd best to go your separate ways
G
Guess that they don't know ya cuz today, that was yesterday,
D
Yesterday is over and it's a different day,
Em
Sound like broken records playing over but you promised her,
C
next time you'd show restraint, you don't get another chance
G
Life is no nintendo game, but you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
D
Guess that's why they call it "window pane"
[Chorus]
Em C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
G D
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Em C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
G D
But that's alright because I love the way you lie,
Em C
I love the way you lie
G D
I love the way you lie
[Verse 3]
Em
Now I know we said things, did things that we didn't mean
C
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
G
But your temper's just as bad as mine is; you're the same as me
D
When it comes to love you're just as blinded
Em
Baby please come back, it wasn't you. Baby it was me,
C
Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
G
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
D
All I know is I love you too much, to walk away though
Em
Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
C
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk?
G
Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
D
Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the drywall
Em
Next time? There won't be no next time
C
I apologize, even though I know it's lies
G
I'm tired of the games, I just want her back. I know I'm a liar,
D
If she ever tries to fuckin' leave again,
Ima tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
Just gonna
[Chorus]
Em C
Stand there and watch me burn,
G D
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Em C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
G D
But that's alright because I love the way you lie,
Em C
I love the way you lie
G D
I love the way you lie
