Fm         D#
Take, my life
Fm                           D#
Time has been twisting the knife
          E                 Fm
I don't recognise  people I care for

Take my dreams
Childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyse
Please just be there for me

A#m                            Fm
The things that I know nobody told me
A#m
The seeds that are sown
               Fm
they still control  me

Chorus:
          A#m
There's a liar in my head
           Fm
There's a thief upon my bed
         A#m
And the strangest thing
      Fm
Is, I can not seem to get my eyes open

Take my hand
Lead me to some peaceful land
That I cannot find
Inside my head

Wake me with love
It's all I need
But in all this time
Still no one said

If I had not asked
Would you have told me?
If you call this love
Why don't you hold me?

Chorus:
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is I cannot seem to get my eyes open

Give me something I can hold
Give me something to believe in
I am frightened for my soul
Please, please
Make love to me, send love through me
Heal me with your crime
The only one who ever knew me
We've wasted so much time
So much time
So much time
