Stabilo – Flawed Design
Intro : Em - G - D - Am
Em G D
When i was a young boy I was honest and i had more self control
Am
If I was tempted I would run
Em G D
Then when i got older I began to lie to get exactly what I wanted when I
Am
wanted it and i wanted it
Em G D
Now im having trouble differentiating between what I want and what i need
Am
to make me happy
Em G D
So instead of thinking I just act before I have the chance to contemplate
Am
the consequence of action
Pre-chorus :
Em
And I will turn off
G
And I will shut down
D Am
Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground
Em
And I will turn off
G
And I will shut down
D Am
The chemicals are restless in my head
Chorus :
Em
Cause I lie
G D Am
Not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time
Em
Yeah i lie
G
And i dont even know it
D Am
Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design
Em - G - D - Am
Em G
And ever since i figured out that i could control other people
D Am
I've had trouble sleeping with both eyes closed
Em G D
And if i ask permission if i make sure its okay I promise i wont slip up
Am
this time you can trust me
Em G D
But never take advice from someone who just admitted to being devious
Am
Who just confessed to treason
Em G D
And I would also never ask a question that i can not ask myself for it
Am
might dirty up your conscience
Chorus :
Em
Cause I lie
G D Am
Not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time
Em
Yeah i lie
G
And i dont even know it
D
Maybe this is all a part of my..
Bridge :
C Am
And how can you say those things why cant you just believe
C Am
And how can you say those things and keep a straight face
C Am
And how can you say those things why cant we just believe
C D
And how can you say those things and keep a straight face
Pre-chorus :
Em
And I will turn off
G
And I will shut down
D Am
Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground
Em
And I will turn off
G
And I will shut down
D Am
The chemicals are restless in my head
Chorus :
Em G D Am
Cause I lie not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time
Em G
Yeah i lie and i dont even know it
D Am
Maybe this is all a part of my..
Em G D Am
And i lie, and if i could control it, maybe i would leave this all behind
Em G
Yeah i lie, and i don't even know it
D Am Em (final strum)
Maybe this is all a part of my... flawed design
