(verse)

E5          G5           D5              E5(VII)  C5

I've got no politics, no influential friend or two 

E5         G5            D5                E5(VII)  C5

I've got ideas, but it's nothing I picked up at school 

E5         G5               D5              E5(VII)  C5

I might be running, but I'm never running back to you



(bridge - riff 1)

And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply 

And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie



(verse)

I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by 

You've got no power and my situation don't apply 

You ask me how I am, I lie and say I'm doing fine



(bridge)

And with your sugar-sweetened alibi, there was a truth I never knew 

And all the attitude you gave me, it's coming back to you



(chorus)

G                           D5       E5(VII) C5

String of lies, it's always compromise with you 

G                                D5         E5(VII) C5

String of lies, you know there's nothing better to do 

G                           D5             E5(VII) C5

String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you



(bridge)

And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply 

And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie



(solo)

E5-G5-D5-E5(VII)-C5

(4 times)



(chorus)

String of lies, we always compromise for you 

String of lies, you know there's nothing better to do 

String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you 

String of lies, we always compromise for you
