Intro: D#m    B    F#    G#m A#m

D#m      B
I've lied to you

The same way that I always do
D#m      B
  This is the last smile
F#                       G#m     A#m        B
 That I'll fake for the sake of being with you

Everything falls apart Even the people
           C#
Who never frown eventually break down
     G#m          A#m   F#    B
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end you'll soon find we're
 C#
Out of time left to watch it all unwind
     G#m          A#m    F#
The sacrifice is never knowing

 I've tried, like you
F#                    G#m     A#m
 To do everything you wanted to
D#m      B
  This is the last time
F#                            G#m     A#m        B
 I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
Everything falls apart, even the people
         C#
Who never frown eventually break down
     G#m          A#m   F#    B
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end, you'll soon find
