Scarlet Lies

G Bm Am G Bm Am Cm Bm Am D G G Bm Am “Fine!” she said, “I'm going away.” G Bm Am “You'd better pack those bags” was all I could say Cm Bm By the time I'd changed my mind Am She was a figment, a dream D G As sad as it seems, so gone C Cmaj7 G Lies! C Cmaj7 G Lies! G Bm Am So with an emptiness inscribed G Bm Am You must avert those sorrow eyes Cm Bm For not a willow wept until the night you left Am D G And a penultimate kiss don't taste as fervent as this, my love G Bm Am Beneath a sun that shines so bright G Bm Am Or as we're waltzing through the night Cm Bm On top of cobblestones, those silent tones Am D G Could paint a picture of you in the evening dew, alone C Cmaj7 G Lies! C Cmaj7 G Lies! B Em And I was wrong to dance so slow Am D But I needed time to realize just where to go C G Bm Am In the search to find the flower for you G Bm Am I came across a poet or two Cm Bm Scarlet lies dripped from their eyes Am D G Em So take it from me, how bad could it be, my love? Cm D G I said take it from me, how bad could it be, my love?
