Tell Me More Lies

Tab

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

LYRICS

[G] (Quick start)?

[Bb6] [C*1] [A7] [G]

I'm young but already there?s doubt in my eyes,

[Bb6] [C*1] [A7] [G]

And none of you ever learned how to prey,

[Bb6] [C*1] [A7] [G]

So make me feel better, tell me more lies,

[Bb6] [C*1] [A7] [G]

Carry me further away,

------

[A#add11] [Dsus2] [G6] [A#add11]

From the blue television, and the idiots kissing, And making excuses,

[Dsus2] [G6] [A#add11] [Dsus2] [G6]

For all it fails, Break it down now break it down, break it,

[Badd11] [Dsus2] [G]

The winds like a dagger, it?s tearing my sails.

------

BACK TO MAIN VERSE

------

[A#add11] [Dsus2] [G6] [A#add11]

From my father and mother, in a room in a tower, breathing the hours,

[Dsus2] [G6] [A#add11] [Dsus2] [G6]

And the chloroform, and there?s something within me, I want to express it,

[A#add11] [Dsus2] [G]

And how do you paint it, when it?s got no form.

------

[Bb6] [C*1] [A7] [G]

I'm young but already there?s doubt in my eyes,

[Bb6] [C*1] [A7] [G]

And none of you ever learned what to say,

[Bb6] [C*1] [A7] [G]

So make me feel better, tell me more lies,

[Bb6] [C*1] [Dadd11] [F6]

Carry me further away,

------

Guitar solo

[C*2] [G#] [F] [A#] [G#]??? [F]

[C*2] [G#] [F] [A#] [G#]??? [F]

[G] <Slide on E&A strings> [A#add11] [Dsus2] [G6] [A#add11]

[Dsus2] [G6]

------

[A#add11] [Dsus2] [G6]

Now the women are speaking of loves that have perished

[A#add11] [Dsus2] [G6] [A#add11]

Of memories cherished, and the fools meant harm, many times are many times

[Dsus2] [G6] [A#add11] [Dsus2] [G]

How many if only n if only la la la

------

[Bb6] [C*1] [A7] [G]

I'm young but already there?s doubt in my eyes,

[Bb6] [C*1] [A7] [G]

And none of you ever learned how to prey,

[Bb6] [C*1] [A7] [G] [Bb6] [C*1]

So make me feel better, tell me more lies,

[A7] [G] [Bb6] [C*1] [A7] [G] [Bb6] [C*1] [A7] [G]

Tell me more lies, tell me more lies, tell me more.
