Living a Lie

# #Song: Living A Lie #Artist: Violent Femmes #Album: ROCK!!!!! # #I'm living a lie because I can't tell the truth. A There's a fire in the basement, a fire on the roof. I'm just sitting in my chair wearing a smile. I'm going to vanish in the air after awhile. E Did did you get the news that I'm lost at sea Hey, hey somebody's confused though it couldn't be me. A I wasn't near that place. I don't know where it was. She didn't see my face. You know its true because D I know wise things. I know about these things. A E I know why it is caged, A so I don't know why I'm enraged. A I'm lying about my birth and I'm lying about my death. For all I'm worth, I lie with every breath. Lying homes are built on my crying habitations. Here's the milk that I spilt, my undying lamitations D I know about these things, I know about these things A E I know why it is caged, A so I don't know why I'm enraged. Bass/Guitar Solo: A E Always the bride's maid, never the bride. D A Look what my bride's made, out of my life. A E Always the bride's maid, never the bride. D A Look what your bride's made, you shook my life. A E Always the bride's maid, never the bride. D A Look what your bride's made, and you know, you shouldn't have lied.
