[G]Why do I [Bm]stay when you're leaving
[Bm]I've got splinters in my fingers [G]from the damage that you've done
[Bm]So why does it [G]hurt when you're speaking
[A]All my words do you keep [D]twisting till you've turned them all around
[Bm]These shallow heights
[G]Stitch me [A]up inside
[Bm]'Cause I, I feel [G]better when I'm lying to
[G]Better when I'm [Bm]lying to myself
[A]I feel better [Bm]when I'm lying to
[G]Better when I'm [Bm]lying to myself
[A]I feel better when [Bm]I'm lying to myself
[G]Why do I [Bm]stay when you're leaving
[G]I've got holes left in my [A]pockets from betting against the odds
[D]So why do I [A]cave when you're begging
[Bm]For the second chance that I [G]have given you so many times
[Bm]These shallow heights
[G]Stitch me [A]up inside
[Bm]'Cause I, I feel [G]better when I'm lying to
[G]Better when I'm [Bm]lying to myself
[A]I feel better [Bm]when I'm lying to
[G]Better when I'm [Bm]lying to myself
[Bm]In my head, in my [G]head, in my head are clouds
[A]And you're calling me [D]up saying you're leaving town
[A]Tell me where, tell me where, [Bm]tell me where are we now
[G]Mmh
[Bm]'Cause I, I feel [G]better when I'm lying to
[G]Better when I'm [Bm]lying to myself
[A]I feel better [Bm]when I'm lying to
[G]Better when I'm [Bm]lying to myself
[A]I feel better [Bm]when I'm lying to
[G]Better when I'm [Bm]lying to myself
[G]I feel better [A]when I'm lying myself
[A]I feel better [Bm]when I'm lying to
