Perfect Lies

Lyrics and Ukulele Chords

C

It’s my fault

Cmaj7

That I went on and

D7

Pretended I was fine

C

It’s my fault

Cmaj7

That I’ve made it so difficult

D7 Cmaj7

To live a lie

C Cmaj7

I must accept myself

C Cmaj7

Because that’s what life’s all about

C

But I can’t own it

Cmaj7

So I’ll lie

C

And tell you that I can because

D7

I just want to try

C

To be happy

Cmaj7

For once in my life

C

I’m not perfect

Cmaj7

So I’ll lie

C

It’s my fault

Cmaj7

That I put off conversation

D7

‘Till I am ready

C

It’s my fault

Cmaj7

That I laugh at things

D7 Cmaj7

That aren’t funny

C

I say I’m trying to survive

Cmaj7

Pretending I know

C

What I’m doing

C

But I know inside

Cmaj7

That the life sparked by this lie

C

Isn’t worth living

C Cmaj7

I must accept myself

C Cmaj7

Because that’s what life’s all about

C

But I can’t own it

Cmaj7

So I’ll lie

C

And tell you that I can because

D7

I just want to try

C

To be happy

Cmaj7

For once in my life

C

I’m not perfect

Cmaj7

So I’ll lie

C

But it’s fortunate

Cmaj7

That I can still recognize

C

The truth

C

And it’s fortunate

Cmaj7

That I can’t let the false truth lie

C Cmaj7 C

Whenever I choose

C

I can’t let myself

Cmaj7

Hide behind the things

C

I’ve accomplished

C

I have to know that

Cmaj7

My work

C

Will never be finished

C Cmaj7

I must accept myself

C Cmaj7

Because that’s what life’s all about

C

But I can’t own it

Cmaj7

So I’ll lie

C

And tell you that I can because

D7

I just want to try

C

To be happy

Cmaj7

For once in my life

C

I’m not perfect

Cmaj7

So I’ll lie

C

I cannot hide

Cmaj7

behind my lies

C

I must do more

Cmaj7

Than just survive

Bridge X2

C

But I can’t own it

Cmaj7

So I’ll lie

C

And tell you that I can because

D7

I just want to try

C

To be happy

Cmaj7

For once in my life

C

I’m not perfect

Cmaj7

So I’ll lie

C
