Em7 Cadd9 G
Well, somebody told me
Em7 Cadd9 G
That I would be a dreamer for life
Em7 Cadd9 G
Well, somebody told me
Em7 Cadd9 G
I would never reach the other side.
Em7 Cadd9 G
Well, you say old news
Em7 Cadd9 G
You cross your fingers and you're to lose
Em7 Cadd9 G
What if I told you,
Em7 Cadd9 G
That things will never improve.
C G
And If I lived a lie
D D C
Would someone meet me on the other side
G D D
So I could burn out bright
Em7 Cadd9 G
So I can burn,
Em7 Cadd9 G
So I can burn.
(continue same sequence for verse / chorus)
The grass is always greener
Someone else's past is always cleaner
But I'm a believer
It doesn't fool all of us.
And If I lived a lie
Would someone meet me on the other side
So I could burn out bright
No, I don't really know where I must go
No, I don't really know where I must go
So, I lived a lie
For just tonight, tonight
(switch to G, Em7, D, C sequence)
We are believers
We are believers
We are believers
We are believers
We are believers
We are believers
We are believers
We are believers
We are believers
We are believers
We are believers
We are believers
We are believers
We are believers
We are, we are
(back to standard chorus sequence)
And If I lived a lie
Would someone meet me on the other side
So I could burn out bright
And If I lived a lie
Would someone meet me on the other side
So I could burn out bright
No, I don't really know where I must go
No, I don't really know where I must go
So, I lived a lie
For just tonight
And burn out bright
