Tuning: D G C F A D
Em G Asus2 G F#
You confessed one day to have been a snake and deceiver
Em G Asus2
But when your moment came, to shed that skin
G F# Em G Asus2
You just slithered away
G F# Em G Asus2 G F#
You just slithered away
Em G Asus2 G F#
Crystal clear to us all, when you say â??We all want the same thingâ?
Em G Asus2
That you donâ??t, you want the bigger piece and the praise
Em G Asus2
There are those who have seen, and those soon to beware
G F#
What your smoke is concealing
Em G Asus2
Just a trail of bones, atop a lemmingâ??s hill
Asus2
All fallen prey
Asus2
All fallen prey
Asus2
All fallen prey-
Interlude
G E
To the liar
G E
not a saint,
G E
not a martyr
G E
Just a snake,
G E
and a liar

verse 2
Em G Asus2 G F#
We used to believe, when you'd say â??Were all in this togetherâ?
Em G Asus2
No more, we all see
Em G Asus2 G F#
Now the mirror is broken, we all know what your spell was concealing
Em G Asus2
Just hollow eyes, a stolen crown but
Asus2
Not a king
Asus2
No, not a king
Asus2
No, not a king
Interlude
G E
To the liar
G E
not a saint,
G E
not a martyr
G E
Just a snake,
G E
and a liar
