Glen Hansard - Lies

from the once soundtrack

verse i

C Am
i think it’s time we give it up
C Am
and figure out what’s stopping us
F C
from breathing easy
F C
and talking straight
C
the way is clear
Am
you’re ready now
C Am
the volunteer is slowing down
F C F C
and taking time to save himself

C A# F
the little cracks they escalated
C A# Am
before we knew it was too late
F C
for making circles
F C A# Am
and telling lies
D G
you’re moving too fast for me and
C C/B
i can’t keep up with you
Am D G
baby if you slow down for me i
C C/B Am D
can see you’re only telling lies lies lies
F C C/B Am D
breaking us down with your lies lies lies
F C C/B Am
when will you learn

( verse over string part )

C A# F
the little cracks they escalated
C A# Am
before we knew it was too late
F C
for making circles
F C A# Am
and telling lies
D G
you’re moving too fast for me and
C C/B
i can’t keep up with you
Am D G
baby if you slow down for me i
C C/B Am D
can see you’re only telling lies lies lies
F C C/B Am D
breaking us down with your lies lies lies
F C C/B Am
when will you learn

C Am
so plant a thought , and watch it grow
C Am
wind it up and let it go

obviously those are just the chords – it’d be neat to pick the piano parts , but alas i’m
that good .
