Verse 1:
E5           G5       D5                    E5  C5
I've got no politics, no influential friend or two
E5         G5            D5                  E5  C5
I've got ideas, but it's nothing I picked up at school
E5          G5              D5                 E5  C5
I might be running, but I'm never running back to you

Pre-Chorus:
Riff
 And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply
Riff
 And anything you're going to tell me, it's just another lie


Verse 2:
E5         G5                D5                          E5  C5
 I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by
E5             G5           D5              E5  C5
 You've got no power and my situation don't apply
E5          G5           D5               E5   C5
 You ask me how I am, I lie and say I'm doing fine


Pre-Chorus:
Riff
 And with your sugar-sweetened alibis, there was a truth I never knew
Riff
 And all the attitude you gave me, it's coming back to you


Chorus:
   G        Bm               Em         D    C
String of lies, it's always compromise with you
   G        Bm                   Em           D  C
String of lies, you know there's nothing left to do
   G        Bm                 Em           D    C
String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you


Bridge:
Riff
 And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply
Riff
 And anything you're going to tell me, it's just another lie

   G        Bm               Em         D    C

   G        Bm                   Em           D  C
String of lies, you know there's nothing left to do
   G        Bm                 Em           D    C
String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you
   G        Bm             Em         D    C
String of lies, we always compromise for you
