How Much I've Lied

Intro: F Gm C F

F                 C                F                   Bb
Darling, there is something I must tell you, you must know.
Dm                  G               C
But it's so hard to say the words I feel.
     Bb             C           F            Bb
This fancy that I'm on has been going on too long.
     Dm                 Bb                 C
It's time we stopped pretending things are real.

       F                C             F                Bb
'Cause I've been living deep in sin.  I've been living blind.
Dm               G                    C
And I don't know just what's right or wrong.
   Bb               C              F            Bb
To take a chance on losing you was such a silly thing to do.
    Dm                  Bb     C        F       F7
The chance I might wake up and find you gone.

        Bb       C        F               Bb
        Blue, so blue, my love is burning blue.
        Dm           Gm               Bb     C
        Any brighter flame would be a lie.
        Bb       C        F                    Bb
        Blue, so blue, my love still burns for you,
        Dm                   Bb            C
        But I know that I'll only make you cry.

  F              C                   F                 Bb
A thief can only steal from you.  He cannot break your heart.
Dm                    G                 C
He'll never touch the precious things inside.
   Bb                  C         F               Bb
So one like you should surely be miles and miles away from me,
Dm               Bb       C         F      F7
Then you'd never care how much I've lied.
   Bb           C                  F                  Bb
So try to understand the pain.  It takes so long when I explain.
Dm                   Bb      C         Bb      F
Please, don't you forget how much I've lied.
