(verse)
[B5]He burnt down the [E5]house one night
[B5]He had a loaded six-pack [G#5]gun [E5]
[B5]He said that Jesus Christ was [E5]just like a cop
B5 D#5-C#5-B5-C#5*
You know, you never know when they'll come
(* = don't play the root of the chord)
(verse)
She said every day above ground
Was another dream come true
He said I'd hang and swap clichés all night
But I'm not in love with you
(bridge)
[F#5]And I never got [G#m]serious
'Til[B5] everything went [E5]black
[F#5]And I ain't so[G#5] curious
That I'm[B5] ever going [E5]back
(chorus: Play Intro)
On the lie
On the lie
On the lie
On the lie
(verse)
He said, man, you want to be Elvis
I said I ain't dying face down
He said you've got to die facing up in the world
'Cause there's too many holes around
(verse)
He asked what was wrong with me
He said I looked like a Hollywood girl
I said that Hollywood can fall into the ocean, man
'Cause it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world
(bridge)
And I never got serious
'Til everything went black
And I ain't so curious
That I'm ever going back
(chorus)
On the lie
On the lie
On the lie
On the lie
(break)
(solo)
E5-G#5-F#5 (3x)
[E5-G#5]
[F#5-G#5-E5]
(chorus)
On the lie, he was
On the lie
On the lie, she was
On the lie
On the lie, he was
On the lie
[G#5]It's all been a[F#5] stinkin' [E5]lie
