D Em
Girl look at you right there
G
With that wind in your hair
A
Like a dream in the sunset light
D Em
I couldn't love you anymore
G
I couldn't need you any less
A
I guess I'm doing something right
Em A
But girl you gotta promise me
Em A
That if you ever have to leave
(Chorus)
D Em
Baby lie to me 'cause I couldn't stand the truth
G A
And I couldn't bear the thought of losin' you
D Em
Baby lie to me, tell me everything's all right
G A
And when I'm sound asleep, you can fade into the night
Em A
Girl, instead of sayin' goodbye
D Em G A
Just lie to me

Last night when I saw you in a dream
G
You were packin' your things

I felt as bad as I could feel

So if there ever comes a day
Em A
That you wanna walk away
