G
I know it wasn't much to ya
                      Gmaj7
But you dressed it up so pretty, didn't you?
                                C
Who wouldn't get caught up and lately I'm seeing right through ya
             Cm
By the way, I moved to the city, you're too busy bein' tied up with

G
Other things, everything's different here
Gmaj7                                  C
Wonderin' where you been, you disappeared
I guess I'll see you around
Cm
I'm sure I'll see you around

Chorus:
         G
Such a slow lie
Gmaj7
Bet your life
  C
That everything will stay the same
Cm
Swear it's the ones who said that
they'll never change
G
Slow lie
Gmaj7
Bet your life
C
That everything will stay the same
Cm
Swear it's the ones who said that they'll never change

Was it too much for ya to have said goodbye
Or apologize? It's kinda messed up that even after all I told ya
You won't look in my eyes (My eyes, my eyes)
I probably should be caught up with

Other things, everything's different here
Wonderin' where you been, you disappeared
I guess I'll see you around
I'll see you around

Chorus:
Such a slow lie
Bet your life
That everything will stay the same
Swear it's the ones who said that they'll never change
Slow lie
Bet your life
That everything will stay the same
Swear it's the ones who said that they'll never change

Don't you go lose yourself and build a glasshouse
On the wrong things, on the wrong things
Don't you go dull your mind by gettin' too high
Off a big name, off a big name
Don't you go lose yourself and build a glasshouse
On the wrong things, on the wrong things
I can picture you still on the hill
It's always the ones who said that they'll never change
