Intro:
E D# E D# E D# C# (x2)

Verse 1:
E D#
I would love to be better
E D#
I would love to be free
E D#
I would love to be perfect
C#
when you look at me

E D#
But instead I'm still cryin'
E D#
yes instead I'm still lyin'
E D#
sad to say I'm still tryin'
C#
not to be me

E B
When I see all the weakness
E B
that I turned into sickness
E D#
I still think I can slide
C#
just fine on the ice

E D#
It's not easy to be honest
E D#
sometimes I'm just astonished
E D# C#
how hard it can be to be true

Chorus:
E B
Why do I lie?
E B
Is it just to get by
E B
If I give up my lines
C#
will I die?

E B
If fortunes are favored
E B
then I am in labor
E B
and I'm tryin' so hard
C#
to leave lyin' behind



Verse 2:
E D#
I don't want to be hazy
E D#
I don't think that I'm crazy
E D#
but I've had some moments
C#
where I am not sure

E D#
and if you can forgive me
E D#
for just being human
E D#
then I will try harder
C#
to keep my words pure

E B
I could be on the border
E B
It could be a disorder
E D#
but honestly I think
C#
that I can come clean

E D#
and all of my stories
E D#
might even be boring
E D#
If I can tell you
C#
what they all mean

wow, I can definitely relate... Not that I'm a pathological liar or anything, but I often catch myself exaggerating the truth to make myself sound more interesting... its just something compulsive I guess...

to me this song is talking about how sometimes you try to change yourself so hard to please someone and be perfect in their eyes. the sound of the song is so eerie. especially with emmylou harris' backing.
