Chorus 1
Em
C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?
G
Well, that's alright,
D
because I like the way it hurts
Em
C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?
G
Well, that's alright,
D
because I love the way you lie
Em
I love the way you lie
Verse 1
Em
I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
C
And right now,
there's a steel knife in my windpipe
G
I can't breathe, but I still fight while I can fight
D
As long as the wrong feels right,
it's like I'm in flight
Em
High off of love, drunk from her hate
C
It's like I'm huffing paint and I love her,
the more I suffer I suffocate
G
and right before I'm about to drown
D
She resuscitates me, she fucking hates me
Em
And I love it, "Wait, where you going?"
C
"I'm leaving you" "No you ain't, come back"
We're running right back, here we go again
G
It's so insane 'cause when it's going good,
it's going great
D
I'm Superman, with the wind at his back,
she's Lois Lane
Em
But when it's bad, it's awful
C
I feel so ashamed, I snapped,
"Who's that dude?"
I don't even know his name,
G
I laid hands on her
I'll never stoop so low again,
D
I guess I don't know my own strength
Chorus 2
Em
Just gonna stand there and
C
watch me burn?
G
Well, that's alright,
D
because I like the way it hurts
Em
Just gonna stand there
C
and hear me cry?
G
Well, that's alright,
D
because I love the way you lie
Em
C
I love the way you lie
G
D
I love the way you lie
Verse 2
Em
You ever love somebody so much
you can barely breathe when you're with 'em?
C
You meet, and neither one of you,
even know what hit 'em
G
Got that warm fuzzy feeling, yeah,
them chills, used to get 'em
D
Now you're getting fucking sick
of looking at 'em
Em
You swore you've never hit 'em,
never do nothing to hurt 'em
C
Now you're in each other's face
Spewing venom in your words
when you spit 'em
G
You push, pull each other's hair,
scratch, claw, bit 'em
D
Throw 'em down, pin 'em, so lost
in the moments when you're in 'em
Em
It's the rage that took over,
it controls you both
C
So they say you're best to go
your separate ways
Guess that they don't know ya
G
'cause today that was yesterday
D
Yesterday is over, it's a different day
Sound like broken records playin' over
Em
But you promised her,
next time you'll show restraint
C
You don't get another chance,
life is no Nintendo game
G
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her
leave out the window
D
Guess that's why they call it window pane
Chorus 3
Em
Just gonna stand there and
C
watch me burn?
G
Well, that's alright,
D

Em
Just gonna stand there
C
and hear me cry?
G
Well, that's alright,
D
because I love the way you lie
Em
C
I love the way you lie
G
D
I love the way you lie
Verse 3
Em
Now I know we said things,
did things that we didn't mean
C
Then we fall back into the same patterns
G
Same routine, but your temper's
just as bad as mine is
D
You're the same as me, when it comes to love,
you're just as blinded
Em
Baby, please come back, it wasn't you
C
Baby, it was me, maybe our relationship
isn't as crazy as it seems
G
Maybe that's what happens
when a tornado meets a volcano
D
All I know is I love you too much
to walk away though
Em
Come inside,
pick up your bags off the sidewalk
C
Don't you hear sincerity
in my voice when I talk?
G
Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
D
Next time I'm pissed,
I'll aim my fist at the drywall
Em
Next time? There won't be no next time
C
I apologize, even though I know it's lies
G
I'm tired of the games, I just want her back,
I know I'm a liar
D
If she ever tries to fucking leave again
I'm a tie her to the bed
and set this house on fire
