             E5 
The sweetest dreams I ever heard. 
 
How I hung on every word 
         B5                           E5 
When you told me we would always be together 
       E5 
On the earth down below 
 
There were things I didn't know 
       B5                       E5 
When I made all my plans for forever. 
 

C5                     G5 
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lies 
D5                        E5 
So sweet to hear but the truth's in your eyes 
C5                 G5       C5    C5 
It was so easy to be hypnotised 
          E5          B5        E5   E5   E5   E5 
They were nothin' but beautiful lies 
 

         E5 
Well the words came with ease 
 
You could paint a masterpiece. 
B5                    E5 
Lines couldn't be any clearer 
 
Just like castles made o' sand 
 
Filled with sleight of hand 
       B5                     E5 
It was only a trick done with mirrors. 
 

C5                     G5 
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lies 
  D5                      E5 
I heard what I wanted to hear at the time 
C5                 G5       C5    C5 
It was so easy to be hypnotised 
         E5            B5        E5   E5 
When you told me those beautiful lies 
 
Lead guitar and mandolin
   C5    C5    G5   G5 

                           D5    D5    E5  E5  C5   C5 

                           G5    C5    C5  E5    B5    E5   E5   E5   E5 
 
            E5 
There's not much left to say 
 
'bout the scenes that I replay 
       B5                       E5 
That I watch on the walls of my room 
         E5 
Now it's lonely and late 
 
There's a fool who still waits 
        B5                   E5 
For the rose that will never bloom 
 

C5                     G5 
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lies 
D5                        E5 
So sweet to hear but the truth's in your eyes 
C5                 G5       C5    C5 
It was so easy to be hypnotised 
         E5            B5        E5 
When you told me those beautiful lies 
C5                 G5       C5    C5 
It was so easy to be hypnotised 
          E5            B5        E5 
While you told me those beautiful lies 
          E5          B5        E5 
They were nothing but beautiful lies
