Em  G  C   Bm 
 
 
Em 
I drift away to a place 
G 
Another kind of life 
C 
Take away the pain 
Bm   
I create my paradise 
Em 
Everything I've held 
G 
Has hit the wall 
C 
What used to be yours 
Bm  
Isn't yours at all 
 
Am 
Falling apart, and all that I'm asking 
C              D 
Is it a crime, am I overreacting 
 
Chorus: 
 
Em  C    G        D 
Oh, he's under my skin 
Em   C       G            D 
Just give me something to get rid of him 
Em         C          G       D 
I've got a reason now to bury this alive 
Em      C      G     D 
Another little white lie 
 
 
Em 
So what you had didn't fit 
G 
Among the pretty things 
C 
Never fear, never fear 
Bm 
I now know where you've been 
Em 
Braids have been un-tied 
G 
As ribbons fall away 
C 
Leave the consequence 
Bm 
My tears you taste 
 
Am 
Falling apart and all that I question 
C                  D 
Is this a dream or is this my lesson 
 
 
Chorus ** 
 
 
BRIDGE: 
 
Am 
I don't believe I'll be alright 
C 
I don't believe I'll be OK 
D         Em 
I don't believe how you've thrown me away 
Am 
I do believe you didn't try 
C 
I do blame you for every lie 
D 
When I look in your eyes, I don't see mine 
 
 
Chorus 
Em  C    G        D 
Oh, he's under my skin 
Em   C       G            D 
Just give me something to get rid of him 
Em   C     G          D 
I've got a reason now to bury this alive 
Em      C      G     D 
Another little white lie 
 
Em C  G          D 
Oh my permission to sin 
Em  C     G            D 
You might have started my reckoning 
Em   C     G             D 
I've got a reason now to bury him alive 
Em 
Another little white lie
