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
