Evan Dando - How Much I've Lied (written by Gram Parsons)

C                  G                C                   F
Darling, there is something I must tell you, you must know.
Dm                   F               G
But it's so hard to say the words I feel.
      F             G             C           F
This fancy that I'm on has been going on too long.
      Dm                 F                  G
It's time we stopped pretending things are real.

        C                 G             C                F
'Cause I've been living deep in sin.  I've been living blind.
Dm                F                     G
And I don't know just what's right or wrong.
    F                G               C            F
To take a chance on losing you was such a silly thing to do.
      Dm                 F               G
The chance I might wake up and find you gone.

       F        G       C                F
	Blue, so blue, my love is burning blue.
	Dm             F              G
	Any brighter flame would be a lie.
	  F        G       C                    F
	Blue, so blue, my love still burns for you,
	Dm                    F             G
	But I know that I'll only make you cry.

C                  G                  C                 F
A thief can only steal from you.  He cannot break your heart.
Dm                      F                G
He'll never touch the precious things inside.
    F                   G        C                 F
So one like you should surely be miles and miles away from me,
Dm                F        G         C
Then you'd never care how much I've lied.
    F            G                    C               F
So try to understand the pain.  It takes so long when I explain.
Dm                    F       G         C
Please, don't you forget how much I've lied.
