G  

They told me time would heal the wound  

G7   C  

Said I'd forget you very soon  

  G  

I'm sitting here writing this little tune  

D   G  

To tell 'em that they lied  

G  

And they said your memory would fade away  

G7   C  

Grow more distant day by day  

  G  

So I picked up my guitar and I started to play  

D   G G7  

To tell 'em that they lied  

C G 

Yes they lied when they told me that I would be free  

D G G7  

Lied when they told me eventually  

C G 

Lied when they told me that this misery would end  

D G

Lied when they told me you'll soon find peace my friend  

G  

They told me out of sight out of mind  

G7   C  

They said I'd left my troubles behind  

  G 

But  I'm writing these words while the tears make me blind  

D   G G7  

To tell 'em that they lied  

Chorus  

G  

And I know what my friends said they thought was true  

G7   C  

Said I'd soon get over you  

  G 

Now what are they going to say or do  

D   G G7  

When I  tell 'em that they lied  

C G 

Yes they lied when they told me that I would be free  

D G G7  

Lied when they told me eventually  

C G 

Lied when they told me that this misery would end  

D G

Lied when they told me you'll soon find peace my friend  

D C      G D G

Lied when they told me you'll soon find peace my friend
