[INTRO]

G F Am


[VERSE ONE]

G                           Cm   
You can see yourself in the side 
       G
mirror
        Em
Tossing your hair
C            Am
If no one is there
C          Am
Why do you care
G                                
Though I let you think there was 
Cm         G
no witness to
       Em
All of your crimes
C                 Am
  I knew what you were
C               Am
  A climber who climbs


[CHORUS]

    G         Em
I’m living a lie
C               Am
  You’re living it too
C                 Am
  Cause I live it with you
    G          Bm
I’m living a lie
Em              Am
  A lie I can’t tell
      G          F            Am
So we wait for a crack in the shell


[VERSE TWO]

G                            Cm  
No one bears a grudge like a boy 
    G
genius
          Em
Just past his prime
C             Am
  Gilding his cage
C            Am
  A bar at a time
    G                        Cm   
For every open arm there's a cold 
      G
shoulder
        Em
Waiting to turn
C           Am
  People to blame
C            Am
  Bridges to burn


[CHORUS]

    G         Em
I’m living a lie
C               Am
  You’re living it too
C                 Am
  Cause I live it with you
    G          Bm
I’m living a lie
Em              Am
  A lie I can’t tell
      G          F            Am
So we wait for a crack in the shell


[BRIDGE]

  C             G        C
A girl comes around at a time when 
your ground
      G        F           C
Is as shaky as leaves on a tree
   Am        G         C      Am
Creating for you a persona or two
      G           F      C
Or an out-and-out mythology
            Am       G             
Now there’s too many cooks but you 
C
like how it looks
             G          F         
When they’re bowing and calling 
   C
you “boss”
        Am          G        
But the powers that were, were 
  C           Am
invested in her
        G             F      C   
And now winning means taking    a
    Am
 loss


[CHORUS]

    G         Em
I’m living a lie
C               Am
  You’re living it too
C                 Am
  Cause I live it with you
    G          Bm
I’m living a lie
Em              Am
  A lie I can’t tell
      G          F            Am
So we wait for a crack in the shell
        G          F            
Yeah we wait for a crack in the 
Am
shell
