Ive Lied

I’ve Lied â€“ Archie Roach

                                          

        G                       C            

Sitting here in this lonely old guest house

    G            D            G           G7              

I’m sure that my life is all through

           G                    C          

Scratching fleas and watching a grey mouse

           G           D         G           G7              

I’m making love to the memory of you

                                          

        G                      C            

For without you I’m weak and uncertain

    G         D         G           G7              

And I feel so naked and cold

       G                  C                 

Like a window without any curtains

    G        D          G           G7              

My innermost feelings unfold

                                          

    C                                     

The drink I just had

                        G       G7                  

It wasn’t as bad as the first

    C                                      

And drinking won’t do

                          G        D                

When it’s only for you I thirst, I thirst

                                          

         G                    C            

For your kiss it quenches all burning

         G                D           G           G7              

And it’s sweeter than the sweetest of wine

           G                  C            

Now you’re gone I find myself yearning

        G         D        G           G7              

For the love that I left behind

                                          

  C

Nobody can heal 

                       G       G7                  

The pain that I feel inside

       C                                       

And if I said I’m strong

                        G       D         G 

And I’m never wrong â€“ I lied, I lied... I lied
