F#m                     D
On the first page of our story
     A                E
The future seemed so bright
      F#m                      D
Then this thing turned out so evil
   A                         E
Don’t know why I’m still surprised
     F#m                 D    
Even angels have their wicked schemes
       A                   E
And you take that to new extremes
            F#m           D
But you’ll always be my hero
      A                       E
Even though you’ve lost your mind

(CHORUS)

            F#m            F#m         D
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
            A                               E
Well that’s alright because I like the way it hurts
            F#m              F#m      D
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
   A                                         E
Well that’s alright because I love the way you lie
     E              F#m
I love the way you lie
     D              A
I love the way you lie
 
Verse 2:
F#m                        D
Now there’s gravel in our voices
A                          E
Glasses shattered from the fight
F#m                          D
In this tug of war you always win
A              E
Even when I’m right
F#m                               D
Cause you feed me fables from your head
A                              E
With violent words and empty threats
F#m                          D
And it’s sick that all these battles
A                     E 
Are what keeps me satisfied

(CHORUS)
           F#m            F#m         D
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
            A                               E
Well that’s alright because I like the way it hurts
            F#m              F#m      D
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
   A                                         E
Well that’s alright because I love the way you lie
     E              F#m
I love the way you lie
     D              A
I love the way you lie

(BRIDGE)

F#m                 D
So maybe I’m a masochist
A                E
I try to run but I don’t wanna ever leave
 F#m                  D
Till the walls are going up
F#m                    E    D
In smoke with all our memories


(CHORUS)
           F#m                     D
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
            A                               E
Well that’s alright because I like the way it hurts
            F#m                    D
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
   A                                         E
Well that’s alright because I love the way you lie
     E              F#m
I love the way you lie
     D              A
I love the way you lie
     E              F#m
I love the way you lie
     D              A
I love the way you lie
