Heartfelt Lies

Intro: C C F C

VERSE:
  C      F
I walk by the rivers edge
          G
skipping smooth wet stones
           C
& watching them sink

C            F
i never was a fan of innocence
       G
ive got two black eyes
          C
& an empty fifth of gin

Chorus:
F          C       G
& i see im wrong for you
        F
but we try
              C      G    F
you swear im hard to lay beside
               C         G     F
if i was you i'd run from me most nights
            C        G             C F
maybe i was meant to be left behind

Verse:
C          F
thunder and circumstances
G                     C
beyond our control rumble in
C                   F                  G
counting time by the lines 'round your eyes
                      C
as your gentle caress helps me forget

Chorus:

F              C       G F
& i think its time to say good night
               C        G  F
& you swear im hard to lay beside
                  C        G      F
now years seem to pass as we blink our eyes
             C         G
maybe i was meant to be left behind

Bridge:
               F    C     G
by all of our heartfelt lies (X3)
                   C
are not enough this time

Chorus:
F           C       G        F
& i say i'd love to spend the night
                      C       G   F
but you found someone else to lay beside
                   C
& i know it makes sense
             G          F
but its like sand in my eyes
            C      G         C
maybe i was meant to be left behind
