Such a Liar
A# F Cm
Those tiny tiny little lies
A# F Cm
They cut right through my skin
A# F Cm
They loop around my heart
A# F D#
And make my blood run thin
Cm F Cm D#
I’ve been burned, left in misery
A#
You lied to me
(Same chords as verse 1)
I put your lies in my pocket
And I run out to the lake
I burry them one by one, in the sand
And I mark them with a stake
I’ve been burned, left in misery
You lied to me
A# F Cm
You’re such a liar, ah
A# F Cm
You’re such a liar, ah
A# F Cm
I wish you’d lay down your excuses
A# F D#
But your so set in your way
Cm F Cm D#
I’ve been burned, left in misery
A#
You lied to me
A# F Cm
You’re such a liar, ah
You’re such a liar, ah
Throw my hands into the air
Walk away from here
You’re such a liar
A# F D#
You’re such a liar

Falling
G D Am C
Drinking lattes in the middle of the night we’re killing time
G D Am C
While our blood pumps fast and wild on whiskey and wine
G D Am C
You told me to take a walk on the wild side
G D Am C
Swept me up in your arms, nowhere to hide
Am (short instrumental bridge)
Chorus
Dm C
Nothing out of the ordinary
Dm C
Except my dreams coming true
Dm C
Nothing out of the ordinary
A# C D
Except falling in love with you
(Same chords for Second Verse)
Confused by your conversation, you hold me tight
No way to turn back now, creatures of the night
You say the things that I’ve always wanted, and I can’t think
You give me things that I’ve always wanted, but I don’t know how to take.
Chorus
Outro
Dm C
Oh I’m falling
Dm C
Yeah I’m falling
Dm C
Help me I’m falling
A# C D
I’m falling in love with you

Life on Earth

Da dada dadada da da da

D G
Mysticism, romanticism, are the boundaries of my mind

That was built upon a time of innoncence, and now I’ve left that world behind
Chorus
G A
So this is life
G A
So this is life
G A D
So this is life on earth
D G
Memories of my youth have withered and died, like the land that’s been striped for the mine
D G
So scared that you might loose your foot hold, so scared you might step out of line.

Full Moon
G D
Crossing thin ice in the middle of the night
C G
Watch your step, Hold on tight
G D
We’ll make home before day break
C G
In time for the baby’s to eat their cake
Chorus
F G Am C
It’s a full moon tonight
F G C
It’s a full moon tonight
Start the machines and wipe off the snow
Say goodbye its time to go
Here come the wolves, they’re on our track
They’ll smell your fear, don’t look back
Chrous
There’s open water straight ahead
We reach the bank, but the fire’s dead
The devil’s dancing on our backs
Fire the guns, check the traps

This is Home
G Am
I’ve walked many miles in these shoes
G D
And there’s been days I’ve sang the blues
G Am
But whenever I feel broken
D G
I know your door is always open
G Am
And these old rags are tattered and torn
G D
But from decay new life is born
G Am
And I will never be alone
D G
Because to me, this is home
Chorus
C D
And as the wind blows through the trees
G C
I will always be at ease
Am D
Fire wind and stone
G
This is home
G Am
These walls will hold me through the night
G D
But I must leave at first light
G Am
I really wish that I could stay
D G
I think about this place each day
Em Bm
Sometimes I feel just like a gipsy
Em Bm
I sing my songs and hope you miss me
C G
And in this world I may roam,
Am D G
But this will always, This will always, be my home

Sit beside me softly
Sit beside me still
Sit beside me forever
And I’ll show you the world
Chorus
A G D
You are my love
A G D
You are my joy
A G D
You are my life
A G D
You are my everything
D
Do you ever feel lonely
On Sunday afternoon
And are your thoughts so heavy
That you don’t know what to do
D
Do you ever feel so happy
That you think you might cry
Come sit beside me
And hold me all through the night
Chorus
D
Sit beside me softly
Sit beside me still
Sit beside me forever
And I’ll show you the world
