DREAM THEATER - "Lie" (06:34)
               words by Kevin Moore

INTRO:
    B5

VERSE 1:
    N.C. 
    Daybreak
    at the bottom of lake
    it's a hundred degrees I can't breathe
    And I won't get out
    'til I figure it out
    Though I'm weak like I can't believe
    So you tell me 'trust me' I can trust you
    Just let me show you
    But I gotta work it out in a shadow of doubt
    'cause I don't know if I know you

    Doing fine but don't waste my time
    Tell me what it is you want to say
    You sin, you win, just let me in - hurry
    I've been out in the rain all day
    So you tell me 'trust me' I can trust you
    as far as I can throw you
    And I'm trying to get out of a shadow of doubt
    'cause I don't know if I know you

    [Chorus:]
      B5
      Don't tell me you wanted me
      Don't tell me you thought of me
      E5      F5  E5        D5     B5
      I won't,    I swear I won't
      (Did)
      E5      F5  E5           D5     B5
      I'll try,   I swear I'll try
      (Lie)

    B5
    Mother Mary quite contrary
    Kiss the boys and make them wary
    Things are getting just a little bit scary
           C#5
    It's a wonder I can still breathe

    B5
    Never been much of a doubting Thomas
    but nothing breaks like a broken promise
    You tell me 'bout your two more coming
        C#5
    but once is just enough for me

    [Chorus]
    D5
    I had gotten used to being a soul destroyed
    (Dm)
    She comes in apparently to fill the void
    All dogs need a leash and
       at least I'll forget it
    And she would never hurt me though
       she's never said it
    But I'm not gonna ask her today
    I don't wanna scare her away
    (Am)
    Your town, I'm all alone
    and I just can't stare at the phone
    (F#m)
    I wanna talk about lifelong mistakes
    and you can tell your stepfather I said so

    [Chorus]
