Verse
[Em] [C]
On the first page of our story
[G] [D]
The future seemed so bright
[Em] [C]
Then this thing turned out so evil
[G] [D]
I don't know why I'm still surprised
[Em] [C]
Even angels have their wicked schemes
[G] [D]
And you take that to new extremes
[Em] [C]
But you'll always be my hero
[G] [D]
Even though you've lost your mind
Chorus
[Em] [C]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
[G] [D]
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
[Em] [C]
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
[G] [D]
Well that's alright because I love the way you lie
[Em] [G]
I love the way you lie
[C] [D]
I love the way you lie
[Second Verse]
[Em] [C]
Now there's gravel in our voices
[G] [D]
Glass is shattered from the fight
[Em] [C]
In this tug of war you'll always win
[G] [D]
Even when I'm right
[Em] [C]
Cause you feed me fables from your hands
[G] [D]
With violent words and empty threats
[Em] [C]
And it's sick that all these battles
[G] [D]
Are what keeps me satisfied.
Chorus
[Em] [C]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
[G] [D]
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
[Em] [C]
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
[G] [D]
Well that's alright because I love the way you lie
[Em] [G]
I love the way you lie
Bridge
[C] [D]
So maybe I'm a masochist
[Em] [D]
I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave
[C] [D]
Till the walls are going up
[Em] [D] [Em] (hold)
In smoke with all our memories
Chorus
[Em] [C]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
[G] [D]
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
[Em] [C]
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
[G] [D]
Well that's alright because I love the way you lie
[Em] [G]
I love the way you lie
