Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][A][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
All [A]sweetly
sung and suc[G]cinctly [D]stated
[G]Words and music he cal[D]culated
[Em]To make you sing along[A]
[Em]With your ster[A]eo on,
As [G]you stand in [D]your shorts on [A]your lawn
Get completely in[G]cor[D]porated
[G]By some couple who [D]consummated
[Em]Their first love by the dawn[A]

[Verse 2]
[Em]A falling star wished upon[A]
That [G]flashed in [D]the sky [A]and was [D]gone
And, mouths [Em]wet and
blonde [G]hair [A]braided
[G]By the back room the kids a[D]ll waited
[Em]To meet the man in b[A]right green
[Em]Who had dreamed up the dream[A]
That [G]they wrecked their hearts [D]upon[A]
He's the [G]liar who [D]lied in
his [A]pop song
And you're [Em]ly ing when
you sing [A]along
And you're [Em]ly ing when you

[Interlude 1]
sing along
[A][G][D][G][D][A][G][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 3]
[A]So, here's to car seats so [G]cruelly [D]weighted
[G]And here's to faces alr[D]eady faded,
[Em]At the end of the [A]day
[Em]When they just threw away[A]
The [G]only good [D]thing that they [A]owned,
And now [D]they're pinned down
[Em]and stra[G]ngulated[A]
[G]But, at the food court,
[D]the float's inflated

[Verse 4]
[Em]And people line up to [A]see
[Em]The man who dreamed up the dream[A]
That they [G]wrecked their [D]hearts [A]upon
He's the [G]liar who [D]lied in [A]his pop song
[G]The liar who [D]lied in his [A]pop song,
And you're [Em]lying when you sing [A]along
Oh yeah, [Em]you're lying when you sing along
[A]

[Verse 5]
[G]Week by week it cli[D]mbs up an [Em]d comes on,[D]
And we're feeling all right,
though we [Em]know it's all [G]wrong
I'm ashamed [D]to admit that [Em]I ca[D]nnot
resist what I wish were the truth but is [G]not
And I truly be[D]lieve we're not [A]strong
And [G]we'll sing until [D]our voices [A]are gone,
And then [G]sink beneath [D]that mani
[A]cured lawn

[Interlude 2]
[A][G][D][G][D][A][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 6]
[A]This is respectfully ded[G]icate[D]d
[G]To the wom[D]an who con[Em]centrated
All of her love [A]to find
[Em]That she had wasted it on[A]
[G]The liar who[D] lied in this song
