Intro : Em - G - D - Am

Em                           G                              D
When i was a young boy I was honest and i had more self control
                         Am
If I was tempted I would run
Em                        G                          D
Then when i got older I began to lie to get exactly what I wanted when I 
       Am
wanted it and i wanted it
Em                          G                         D
Now im having trouble differentiating between what I want and what i need 
            Am
to make me happy
Em                            G                               D
So instead of thinking I just act before I have the chance to contemplate 
                   Am
the consequence of action

Pre-chorus :
Em
And I will turn off
G
And I will shut down
D                        Am
Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground
Em
And I will turn off
G
And I will shut down
D                                Am
The chemicals are restless in my head

Chorus :
        Em
Cause I lie
              G                     D               Am
Not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time
       Em
Yeah i lie
                G
And i dont even know it
              D              Am
Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design

Em - G - D - Am

Em                                G
And ever since i figured out that i could control other people
D                                   Am
I've had trouble sleeping with both eyes closed
Em                           G                            D
And if i ask permission if i make sure its okay I promise i wont slip up 
                  Am
this time you can trust me
Em                                 G                          D
But never take advice from someone who just admitted to being devious
                      Am
Who just confessed to treason
Em                             G                           D
And I would also never ask a question that i can not ask myself for it 
                    Am
might dirty up your conscience

Chorus :
        Em
Cause I lie
              G                     D               Am
Not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time
       Em
Yeah i lie
                G
And i dont even know it
              D              
Maybe this is all a part of my..

Bridge :
C                                    Am
And how can you say those things why cant you just believe
C                                           Am
And how can you say those things and keep a straight face
C                                    Am
And how can you say those things why cant we just believe
C                                           D
And how can you say those things and keep a straight face

Pre-chorus :
Em
And I will turn off
G
And I will shut down
D                        Am
Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground
Em
And I will turn off
G
And I will shut down
D                                Am
The chemicals are restless in my head

Chorus :
        Em                G                     D               Am
Cause I lie not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time
       Em                  G
Yeah i lie and i dont even know it
              D             Am
Maybe this is all a part of my..
      Em                     G                      D              Am
And i lie, and if i could control it, maybe i would leave this all behind
       Em                    G
Yeah i lie, and i don't even know it
              D             Am                   Em (final strum)
Maybe this is all a part of my... flawed design
