Intro: D

D (xx0232@1)       A (x02220@1)        G (320003@1) /   D (xx0232@1) 
I've been trying to quantify
D (xx0232@1)        A (x02220@1)                GAll (320003@1)of the wrong that one can pack into a lie
D (xx0232@1)           A (x02220@1)           G (320003@1)        DAnd (xx0232@1)I've been trying to put on a scale
D (xx0232@1)      A (x02220@1)                                  GJust (320003@1)how bad all of that wrong should make me feel

Bm (x24432@1)                         A'Cos (x02220@1)they told me once when I was young
     G (320003@1)          DThat (xx0232@1)liars are as liars do
           A (x02220@1)             DAnd (xx0232@1)if you do, it's off to Hell with you
G (320003@1)                DNo (xx0232@1)smiling, kid, I speak the truth
           Bm (x24432@1)                                ABut (x02220@1)I've a sneaking feeling they were liars too
   G (320003@1)                                  DSo (xx0232@1)logically, then, we're all hypocrites
                    Bm (x24432@1)              A (x02220@1)                     DBut (xx0232@1)does it make it better or make it worse to be aware of it?

D (xx0232@1)              A (x02220@1)                G (320003@1)     DI'm (xx0232@1)convincing myself that it's all relative
                D (xx0232@1)              A (x02220@1)               GAnd (320003@1)if there's a God, when He forgives, I think He must consider it
          D (xx0232@1)         A (x02220@1)           G (320003@1)         DI've (xx0232@1)been noticing confusion in the laws he made
     D (xx0232@1)          A (x02220@1)                G (320003@1)The nature of the truth and where it bends and where it breaks

Bm (x24432@1)                    AAnd (x02220@1)where I twisted it to my benefit
          G (320003@1)                DWhen (xx0232@1)this man said he was in love with me
      A (x02220@1)                 DAnd (xx0232@1)I thought that he was dumb to be
     G (320003@1)              DSo (xx0232@1)I pretended that I was asleep
          Bm (x24432@1)                               ACalled (x02220@1)it free will what he willed to believe
       G (320003@1)                                DAnd (xx0232@1)it ended, so I guess it's just as well
                   G (320003@1)           A (x02220@1)               DBut (xx0232@1)that's why sometimes I think I might go to Hell

(during the bridge, just play:) G - D - G - D - Bm - A  (2x)

Bm (x24432@1)                                   AAnd (x02220@1)I worry too, how I never mentioned to you
      G (320003@1)                  DHow (xx0232@1)I drove your car while you were gone
  A (x02220@1)                   DA (xx0232@1)mile with the parking brake still on
        D (xx0232@1)              D'Cos (xx0232@1)it seems to me, you wait too long
    Bm (x24432@1)                                     A (x02220@1)   
You may as well have not meant well all along
       G (320003@1)                                        DSo (xx0232@1)I'm hoping hard if it's the thought that counts
               G (320003@1)          A (x02220@1)                    D- (xx0232@1)D7That (xx0212@1)you don't ever have to know what I think about

G (320003@1)                                                     DAnd (xx0232@1)that every soul can always fit thought Heaven's door
         Bm (x24432@1)                A (x02220@1)                      DWith (xx0232@1)the weight of things it never told anyone before.
