View chords used in this chart
[Intro]
C x4
[Verse 1]
C D G C
You wanna know, did I ever tell a lie
C D G
2 am swearing to god on some front porch
C D G C
The words find their rhythm, sneak out of sight
C D G
And I didn't mean what I said
[Verse 2]
C D G C
I try to relax, pretend that it's the truth
C D G
And after a while it seems like it is don't ya know
C D G C
But tricks don't last forever, illusions fade with smoke
C D G
Leaving just a mortal in defense
[Chorus]
Am G C
And I try, I try but I just didn't know what I was getting into
G C D
Didn't know I was backing myself into the wall
Am G C
And I try, I try but I just didn't know what I was getting into
G C D
I didn't know I was setting myself up for the fall
[Verse 3]
C D G C
I try to be sweet, but I don't like myself
C D G
And I think it's time you know the truth
C D G C
But the words they come like shadows, much too hard to grasp
C D G
And I don't have the heart to let you know
[Verse 4]
C D G C
You leave me crying, I wanna hold your hand
C D G
Wanna tell you I love you in my arms
C D G C
You curl up beside me like there's nothing wrong
C D G
Oh I wish you could see
[Chorus]
Am G C
And I try, I try but I just didn't know what I was getting into
G C D
Didn't know I was backing myself into the wall
Am G C
And I try, I try but I just didn't know what I was getting into
G C D
I didn't know I was setting myself up for the fall
[Verse 5]
C D G C
And you wanna know, did I ever tell a lie
C D G
4 am and I’m telling you the truth
C D G C
And somehow we get more distant, you sneak out of sight
C D G
And I didn't mean what I did
