Gm                            Eb 
Turn the lights up baby gonna close my eyes 
                                F 
Don't want to see the situation out of disguise 
Gm            Eb                 F 
I run my fingers down the scar 
Gm                                  Eb 
I breathe it in like air I drink it down like wine 
       Cm                     Eb 
Then I sit and I stare at the scene of the crime 
         Gm                    Eb 
When the lie comes down like a kiss on the lips 
       Cm               Eb 
It's a fragile wire the memory trips 
Gm                         Eb 
The taste is sweet but the kiss is unkind 
          Cm                 Eb 
There's a crawlspace  in my head that I find 
Gm                 Eb 
The fire burns hot the river runs wild 
Cm                           Eb                 F   Eb 
And the wind sounds like the cries of a child 
Gm                            Eb 
The night stands at attention just to watch and wait 
                              F 
Like it came to see if I was gonna break 
Gm                  Eb                    F 
You hold  me up you fold me up like paper 
Gm                        Eb 
In the naked city where we wear it like skin 
Cm                        Eb 
Come on baby it's such an unoriginal sin 
         Gm                    Eb 
When the lie comes down like a kiss on the lips 
       Cm               Eb 
It's a fragile wire the memory trips 
Gm                         Eb 
The taste is sweet but the kiss is unkind 
         Cm                 Eb 
There's a crawlspace  in my head that I find 
Gm                 Eb 
The fire burns hot the river runs wild 
Cm                           Eb                   F   Eb 
And the wind sounds like the cries of a child 
Cm                          Bb              Gm 
There is an edge there is a blade that's so sharp 
Eb          Bb           Eb           Gm 
Baby it can separate the soul from the heart 

SOLO 

Gm                         Eb 
You don't use a gun I gave you what you steal 
                                         F 
If you don't ride this train you're underneath the wheel 
Gm             Eb         F 
I'm too emotional for this 
                                 Eb 
So rock it up now baby but don't look down 
Cm                                    Eb 
Let's just make it good-bye I'm gonna leave this town 
         Gm                    Eb 
When the lie comes down like a kiss on the lips 
       Cm               Eb 
It's a fragile wire the memory trips

And the wind sounds like the cries of a child

When the lie comes down like a kiss on the lips
