[Strophe]
       Em                   C 
On the first page of our story 
      G               D 
the future seemed so bright 
       Em                   C 
then this thing turned out so evil 
               G               D 
I don't know why I'm still surprised 
       Em                   C 
even angels have their wicked schemes 
      G               D 
and you take that to new extremes 
   Em                   C 
but you'll always be my hero 
      G               D 
even though you've lost your mind
[Refrain]
              Em                   C 
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn 
                 G                             D 
but that's all right because I like the way it hurts 
              Em                   C 
just gonna stand there and hear me cry 
                 G                             D 
but that's all right because I love the way you lie 
Em                   C 
I love the way you lie 
G                        D 
Ohhh, I love the way you lie
[Strophe]
              Em             C 
Now there's gravel in our voices 
            G                D 
glass is shattered from the fight 
           Em                    C 
in this tug of war, you'll always win 
      G          D 
even when I'm right 
            Em                       C 
'cause you feed me fables from your hand 
        G                       D 
with violent words and empty threats 
          Em                   C 
and it's sick that all these battles 
           G           D 
are what keeps me satisfied
[Refrain]
              Em                   C 
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn 
                 G                             D 
but that's all right because I like the way it hurts 
              Em                   C 
just gonna stand there and hear me cry 
                 G                             D 
but that's all right because I love the way you lie 
Em                   C 
I love the way you lie 
G                        D 
Ohhh, I love the way you lie
[Strophe]
Em             C 
So maybe I'm a masochist 
G                D 
I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave 
Em                    C 
til the walls are goin' up 
G          D 
in smoke with all our memories
[Refrain]
              Em                   C 
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn 
                 G                             D 
but that's all right because I like the way it hurts 
              Em                   C 
just gonna stand there and hear me cry 
                 G                             D 
but that's all right because I love the way you lie 
Em                   C 
I love the way you lie 
G                        D 
Ohhh, I love the way you lie
