D                       G
There's lights on in a window,
                         Bm
And a sign post in the snow,
                  G                    A
There's a golden coin beneath your pillow.
D                    G
There's parachutes above you,
                  Bm
And life boats below,
                        G
And a heart that loves you,
         A
Yeah I think you know.

There's treasure maps well hidden
And diamonds in the dirt
There's a golden thread weaved into your shirt
There's a kiss for every tear
That rolls down your cheek
And words I shouldn't hear
and words you shouldn't speak

Chorus:
D          G         A      D
So tell me one more lie my dear,
         G         A      D
Whisper softly so nobody hears,
         G          A           Bm
Keep me hanging on for another year,
           G         A      D
Oh tell me one more lie my dear.

Well there's whiskey and blankets
And a bonfire when you're cold
I'll hold a golden breath till I'm silver and old
With only hope to keep alive
And only time to kill
There's a fool that loved you
And he loves you still

Chorus

Em                           Bm
Spin me one more tale sweet heart,
                                           D
Weave golden needle and thread through my heart,
                                           A
Whisper all the things you know I long to hear,
           G         A      D
Oh tell me one more lie my dear.
