(verse)



B5                E5



He burnt down the house one night 



B5                       G#5  E5



He had a loaded six-pack gun 



B5                            E5



He said that Jesus Christ was 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             G#m



And I never got serious 



    B5               E5



'Til everything went black 



F#5           G#5



And I ain't so curious 



        B5          E5



That I'm ever going 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)

(3x)

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            F#5       E5



It's all been a stinkin' lie
