Am  G      C
Two damn'd lies
Am         G     C
Married in compromise
    Am          G            F
You know how to grow but you won't let go of these
Am  G      C
Two damn'd lies


[Verse 2]
Am   G    C
Long lost friends
Am  G       C
Why does it end?
    Am    G                  F
You go to confession but you can't resist
Am                 G              F
Sleeping with your neighbour in a three-way tryst
       Am           G              F
You'll never get to Heaven, it's a Christy twist
     Am   G    C
With long lost friends

[Verse 3]
Am   G      C
Some spoilt kids
Am   G         C
Know what they did?
     Am           G         F
They stood on the edge of a brave new world
    Am   G      C
Ah, some spoilt kids


[Verse 4]
Am  G      C
Two damn'd lies
Am    G    C
Great sacrifice
Am               G              F
Running with the messrs and you will not stop
Am               G             F
Hanging from the ledge but you will not drop
        Am         G               F
And you know who's responsible but will not shop
      Am  G      C
These two damn'd lies

[Verse 5]
Am   G    C
Long lost friends
Am   G      C
True to the end
Am            G              F
Gone from the memory but you still depend on
Am   G    C
Long lost friends


[Verse 6]
Am  G    C
One last drink
Am        G       C
Who knows what to think?
      Am           G                   F
If it nips at your conscience when you think you've sinned
        Am          G              F
You can give to the Sally with the rattling tin
    Am         G              F
But experience shows that you cannot win
     Am  G    C
With one last drink

[Verse 7]
Am  G    C
One last drink
Am        G       C
Who knows what to think?
       Am          G             F
You've tried other stuff but you can't get enough
   Am  G    C
So one last drink


[Verse 8]
Am   G      C
Some spoilt kids
Am   G         C
Know what they did?
     Am            G             F
They camped on the corner of the wild, wild wood
Am       G              F
Pocketed Karma from the bad and good
       Am           G             F
You'll never get to Heaven if you stamp your foot
     Am   G      C
Like some spoilt kids
