1. As you walk away,       as we say goodbye,

                              C      - D                      G

    what I wouldn't give,         for a tender lie.

 

  G                              F         C   - D                              G    - C - G

Say you'll never stop loving me,        just as if it were true.

                                                 - F            C - D

How much more damage now,      honestly,

                                 G       - C - G

could one tender lie do ?

2. When we fall so far,        are we wrong to try

                              C   - D                      G

    to fight off the truth       with a tender lie ?

Say your gonna come back to me,     and I'll believe that it's true.

How much more damage now,      honestly,  

                                 G       - C - G

could one tender lie do ?
