[Verse 1]
Am
Show me how to lie
F
you’re getting better all the time
C
And turning all against the one
G
is an art that’s hard to teach
Am
Another clever word
F
sets off an unsuspecting herd
C
and as you step back into line
G
A mob jumps to their feet
Am
Now dance fucker dance
F
man he never had a chance
C
And no one even knew
G
it was really only you
[Pre-chorus]
F
And now you steal away
Dm
take him out today
Fsus2
Nice work you did
Dm7
you’re gonna go far, kid
[Chorus]
Am F
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
C
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
G
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Am F
when you walk away, nothing more to say
C
See the lightning in your eyes
G
See ‘em running for their lives
[Verse 2]
Am
Slowly out of line
F
and drifting closer in your sights
C
So play it out I’m wide awake
G
it’s a scene about me
Am
There’s something in your way
F
and now someone's gonna pay
C
And if you can’t get what you want
G
well it’s all because of me
Am
Now dance fucker dance
F
man I never had a chance
C
And no one even knew
G
it was really only you
[Pre-Chorus]
F
And now you’ll lead the way
Dm
show the light of day
Fsus2
Nice work you did
Dm7
You’re gonna go far, kid
Trust, deceived
[Chorus]
Am F
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
C
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
G
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Am F
When you walk away, nothing more to say
C
See the lightning in your eyes
G
See ‘em running for their lives

Clever alibis, lord of the flies

Hit ‘em right between the eyes

See ‘em running for their lives
