Beautiful Lies Lyrics

Sweethearts of the Rodeo

Capo 3

Intro: Em Em Em Em Em Em Em Em

Em
The sweetest dreams I ever heard.

How I hung on every word
B7 Em
When you told me we would always be together
Em
On the earth down below

There were things I didn't know
B7 Em
When I made all my plans for forever.

C G
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lies
D Em
So sweet to hear but the truth's in your eyes
C G C C7
It was so easy to be hypnotised
Em B7 Em Em Em Em
They were nothin' but beautiful lies

Em
Well the words came with ease

You could paint a masterpiece.
B7 Em
Lines couldn't be any clearer

Just like castles made o' sand

Filled with sleight of hand
B7 Em
It was only a trick done with mirrors.

C G
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lies
D Em
I heard what I wanted to hear at the time

C G C C7
It was so easy to be hypnotised
Em B7 Em Em
When you told me those beautiful lies


Lead guitar and mandolin C C G G
D D Em Em C C
G C C7 Em B7 Em Em Em Em

Em
There's not much left to say

'bout the scenes that I replay
B7 Em
That I watch on the walls of my room
Em
Now it's lonely and late

There's a fool who still waits
B7 Em
For the rose that will never bloom

C G
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lies
D Em
So sweet to hear but the truth's in your eyes
C G C C7
It was so easy to be hypnotised
Em B7 Em
When you told me those beautiful lies
C G C C7
It was so easy to be hypnotised
Em B7 Em
While you told me those beautiful lies
Em B7 Em
They were nothing but beautiful lies
