Could You Lie (capo) 
 
 
 
 
Tabbed by: Emrldeyzs 
 
 
INTRO: Em  C   G   Bb  Am  D 
 
VERSE 1: 
 
G                   D            G 
Go on and lie, I've heard it all before 
    C                  G                   D 
You have no shame this pain I feel, you've never known 
       Bm           C               G 
The rain outside is shifting in the wind 
    Bb              Am        D 
The road is looking lonelier, alone again 
 
 
VERSE 2: 
 
G                     D                G 
If love is real, then love goes on and on 
    C              G                  D 
The words you said condem you as the guilty one 
  Bm               C                     G 
I guess you're not the kind you claim to be 
Bb             Am               D 
Always looking back to get your love for free 
 
          Em              C              G 
Could you lie and say you love me just a little? 
Bm             C                    D 
One more wrong will keep us one more night 
     Em                 Bm 
When quiet fades at the light of day 
Bb                 Am                  D 
I'll see the truth that's on your face again 
 
 
INSTR: G    D   G    C   G   D  Bm  C   G   Bb  Am  D 
 
VERSE 3: 
G                    D                   G 
When morning breaks, my heart won't understand 
     C                G                     D 
I've spent a lifetime raising houses on the sand 
       Bm           C               G 
The rain outside is shifting in the wind 
    Bb              Am        D 
The road is looking lonelier, alone again 
 
CHORUS: 
 
          Em              C              G 
Could you lie and say you love me just a little? 
Bm             C                    D 
One more wrong will keep us one more night 
     Em                 Bm 
When quiet fades at the light of day 
Bb                 Am                  D 
I'll see the truth that's on your face again 
 
OUTRO: Em  C   G   Bb  Am  D
