Glen Hansard — Lies Chords
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 Bb F
The little cracks they escalated
C Bb Am
Before we knew it was too late
F C
For making circles
F C Bb 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 Bb F
The little cracks they escalated
C Bb Am
Before we knew it was too late
F C
For making circles
F C Bb 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.
