[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
D A      B7              
■ ■ Once there were times
                Gbm                 Gmaj7 
Once there were reasons filled with rhymes
Bm                A7             
Everything shared everything told
         B7        
You keep me so warm
                Gbm       Gmaj7        
Protect me from all those mighty storms
    Bm7    A       A7 
And dreams seem so old


[Chorus]
                                  A  
So look at us now just look at us now
         A7                    
With our hands on our hearts oh
A                    
And lines on our brow
D        Gbm          G   
How many lies must we tell
D        Gbm          G  
How many lies must we see
D        Gbm                            Bb  
How many times must we say It's for the best
          Eb           C       
And leave truth as the casualty


[Verse]
D      A      B7          Bm7  
Do you ■ read through the lines
               Gbm        Gmaj7
Or believe the TV and the Times
             Bm        A          
Where can we find more ways to see
           Bm          
You strain on the truth
Bm7 Bm   Gbm                  Gmaj7   
And make believe all when you cry wolf
              Bm     A        
With the lies you're giving me
                       A7            
So look at us now just look at us now


[Chorus]
     A   A7           A        
With our hands on our hearts oh
                 D   
And lines on our brow
         Gbm          G   
How many lies must we tell
D        Gbm              G
How many lies must we see ■
D        Gbm                            Bb  
How many times must we say It's for the best
          Eb                   
And leave truth as the casualty
      G7 G          
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

         D            
Well the truth is hard


[Chorus]
             Gbm           
So when they write the book
G                          
Fiction's what you wanna be
          D                
It's your freedom of choice
        Gb7                    G                  
But you know that lies are the cancer of democracy
       D                
You've painted your face
               Gbm               
And now you've tainted your words
               G                        
And now you're ready and armed with love


[Bridge]
D                       
If you're head is steady
Gbm               
Your soul is ready
G              E    
We're going up above
G                       
So whatever you wanna be
E7                      E 
Just come on along with me
   G                          
If there's truth in our hearts
A                  Asus4
Maybe we can break free
