INTRO : G F Am
G Cm G
You can see yourself in the side mirror
Em
Tossing your hair
C Am
If no one is there
C Am
Why do you care
G Cm G
Though I let you think there was no witness to
Em
All of your crimes
C Am
I knew what you were
C Am
A climber who climbs
G Em
I’m living a lie
C Am
You’re living it too
C Am
Cause I live it with you
G Bm
I’m living a lie
Em Am
A lie I can’t tell
G F Am
So we wait for a crack in the shell
G Cm G
No one bears a grudge like a boy genius
Em
Just past his prime
C Am
Gilding his cage
C Am
A bar at a time
G Cm G
For every open arm there's a cold shoulder
Em
Waiting to turn
C Am
People to blame
C Am
Bridges to burn
G Em
I’m living a lie
C Am
You’re living it too
C Am
Cause I live it with you
G Bm
I’m living a lie
Em Am
A lie I can’t tell
G F Am
So we wait for a crack in the shell
C G C
A girl comes around at a time when your ground
G F C
Is as shaky as leaves on a tree
Am G C Am
Creating for you a persona or two
G F C
Or an out-and-out mythology
Am G C
Now there’s too many cooks but you like how it looks
G F C
When they’re bowing and calling you “Boss”
Am G C Am
But the powers that were, were invested in her
G F C Am
And now winning means taking a loss
G Em
I’m living a lie
C Am
You’re living it too
C Am
Cause I live it with you
G Bm
I’m living a lie
Em Am
A lie I can’t tell
G F Am
So we wait for a crack in the shell
G F Am
Yeah we wait for a crack in the shell
