White Lies Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]I said, "Eve[G]rybody's headed out to L.A.
but I hate to see you suf[Em]fer"
"You love New York in the summer"
So let's [G]gather up the pieces
of this broken
Wilted thing
It's worth [Em]the struggle
I just ache to touch you

[Verse 2]
I've [D]always wanted you
[Em]too [C]clos[Dsus4]e[D]

[Verse 3]
[C]Why
Why
[G]Why [Em]is it hard to slee[G]p without you
[C]I don't m[G]ind i[Em]f you build
your [G]dreams around it
We [C]won't survive on [G]this borrowed [Em]time
I don't know why you'd [G]wanna try
I [C]said, "Why"
"Why"
[G]"Why [Em]do we waste t[D]ime on
[C]these white [G]lies"[Em][D]

[Verse 4]
[C]I c[G]atc[Em]h a [D]glimpse of f[G]ingernails
with cracked pink polish
Tapping out a rhythm
[Em]I'm just wondering what
you're thinking
There's a [G]faded photograph of someone
else you used to love
Can't stop [Em]from wishing that
you'd just forget him

[Verse 5]
I've [D]always [Dsus4]wanted yo[D]u[G]
[Em]too [C]close[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 6]
[C]Why
Why
[G]Why[Em] is it hard to [G]sleep without you[C]
I don't [G]mind [Em]if you build
your [D]dreams [C]around it
We won't survive on this
[D]borrowed time
[Em]I don't know why you'd [D]wanna try
[G]I said, "[C]Why"
"Why"
[G]"Wh[Em]y do we waste tim[D]e on
[C]these white [G]lies"[Em][D]

[Verse 7]
[C]I r[G]eme[Em]mber[C] the nig[D]ht[Dsus4]
[D]The [Dsus4]hotel bed
You cried out loud
You were [D]still in [Em]love with me
[C]Through [Dsus4]time and space
Oh
Everything
You've wasted all your precious
dream[D]s a[Em]nd faith it se[C]ems
Needless [Dsus4]crying[D]
[G]
