             Em 
The sweetest dreams I ever heard. 
 
How I hung on every word 
         B7                           Em 
When you told me we would always be together 
       Em 
On the earth down below 
 
There were things I didn't know 
       B7                       Em 
When I made all my plans for forever. 
 

C                     G 
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lies 
D                        Em 
So sweet to hear but the truth's in your eyes 
C                 G       C    C7 
It was so easy to be hypnotised 
          Em          B7        Em   Em   Em   Em 
They were nothin' but beautiful lies 
 

         Em 
Well the words came with ease 
 
You could paint a masterpiece. 
B7                    Em 
Lines couldn't be any clearer 
 
Just like castles made o' sand 
 
Filled with sleight of hand 
       B7                     Em 
It was only a trick done with mirrors. 
 

C                     G 
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lies 
  D                      Em 
I heard what I wanted to hear at the time 
C                 G       C    C7 
It was so easy to be hypnotised 
         Em            B7        Em   Em 
When you told me those beautiful lies 
 
Lead guitar and mandolin

            Em 
There's not much left to say 
 
'bout the scenes that I replay 
       B7                       Em 
That I watch on the walls of my room 
         Em 
Now it's lonely and late 
 
There's a fool who still waits 
        B7                   Em 
For the rose that will never bloom 
 

C                     G 
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lies 
D                        Em 
So sweet to hear but the truth's in your eyes 
C                 G       C    C7 
It was so easy to be hypnotised 
         Em            B7        Em 
When you told me those beautiful lies 
C                 G       C    C7 
It was so easy to be hypnotised

While you told me those beautiful lies 
          Em          B7        Em 
They were nothing but beautiful lies
