Evan Dando - How Much I've Lied (written by Gram Parsons)
C G C F
Darling, there is something I must tell you, you must know.
Dm F G
But it's so hard to say the words I feel.
F G C F
This fancy that I'm on has been going on too long.
Dm F G
It's time we stopped pretending things are real.
C G C F
'Cause I've been living deep in sin. I've been living blind.
Dm F G
And I don't know just what's right or wrong.
F G C F
To take a chance on losing you was such a silly thing to do.
Dm F G
The chance I might wake up and find you gone.
F G C F
Blue, so blue, my love is burning blue.
Dm F G
Any brighter flame would be a lie.
F G C F
Blue, so blue, my love still burns for you,
Dm F G
But I know that I'll only make you cry.
C G C F
A thief can only steal from you. He cannot break your heart.
Dm F G
He'll never touch the precious things inside.
F G C F
So one like you should surely be miles and miles away from me,
Dm F G C
Then you'd never care how much I've lied.
F G C F
So try to understand the pain. It takes so long when I explain.
Dm F G C
Please, don't you forget how much I've lied.
