D        G A
You ask me how I'm doin'
D            G        Em       A
Since we've gone our separate ways
   D            G            A#dim  Bm
I wish I could say, there's someone new
       Em           D        A         D
But I still dream about you night and day

Chorus:
    D  G        A      D
And I wish that I was lyin'
G                A
And that's the truth
  F#m         Bm     Em         D
I wish I was lyin', wish I was lyin'
   G         F#m    A       D
I wish I was lyin' next to you

I'll meet someone, and tell her I'll call
Though I know I'm not goin' to
Close as she comes to bein' perfect
She can't help it, she's not you

Chorus

A#                  F/A
I Know I should get on with my life,
             Gm     C     F
but that's impossible to do
   A#                  F/A
A lifetime just ain't long enough
       G     Em           A
to get over someone like you

Chorus

I wished that I was lyin'
