Chorus 1
Em
C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?
G
Well, that's alright,
D/F#
because I like the way it hurts
Em
C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?
G
Well, that's alright,
D/F#
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
Cadd9
And right now,
there's a steel knife in my windpipe
G
I can't breathe, but I still fight while I can fight
G/F#
As long as the wrong feels right,
it's like I'm in flight
Em
High off of love, drunk from her hate
Cadd9
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
G/F#
She resuscitates me, she fucking hates me
Em
And I love it, "Wait, where you going?"
Cadd9
"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
G/F#
I'm Superman, with the wind at his back,
she's Lois Lane
Em
But when it's bad, it's awful
Cadd9
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,
G/F#
I guess I don't know my own strength

Chorus 2
Em
Just gonna stand there and
Cadd9
watch me burn?
G
Well, that's alright,
G/F#
because I like the way it hurts
Em
Just gonna stand there
Cadd9
and hear me cry?
G
Well, that's alright,
G/F#

Em
Cadd9
I love the way you lie

Verse 2
Em
You ever love somebody so much
you can barely breathe when you're with 'em?
Cadd9
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
G/F#
Now you're getting fucking sick
of looking at 'em
Em
You swore you've never hit 'em,
never do nothing to hurt 'em
Cadd9
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
G/F#
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
Cadd9
So they say you're best to go
your separate ways
Guess that they don't know ya
G
'cause today that was yesterday
G/F#
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
Cadd9
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
G/F#
Guess that's why they call it window pane
Chorus 3
Em
Just gonna stand there and
Cadd9
watch me burn?
G
Well, that's alright,
G/F#
because I like the way it hurts
Em
Just gonna stand there
Cadd9
and hear me cry?
G
Well, that's alright,
G/F#
because I love the way you lie
Em
Cadd9
I love the way you lie
G
G/F#
I love the way you lie
Verse 3
Em
Now I know we said things,
did things that we didn't mean
Cadd9
Then we fall back into the same patterns
G
Same routine, but your temper's
just as bad as mine is
G/F#
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
Cadd9
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
G/F#
All I know is I love you too much
to walk away though
Em
Come inside,
pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Cadd9
Don't you hear sincerity
in my voice when I talk?
G
Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
G/F#
Next time I'm pissed,
I'll aim my fist at the drywall
Em
Next time? There won't be no next time
Cadd9
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
G/F#
If she ever tries to fucking leave again
I'm a tie her to the bed
and set this house on fire
Chorus 4

Cadd9

Well, that's alright,
G/F#
because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there
Cadd9
and hear me cry?
G
Well, that's alright,
G/F#
because I love the way you lie
Em
Cadd9
I love the way you lie
G
G/F#
I love the way you lie
