Making A Liar Out Of Me

verse 1 
       A                              D 
I tell people, you just going through changes 
                A                              D 
And that you’re acquainted both with night and day 
          A                                     D 
That your money’s good and you’re just being courageous 
        A                            D 
On them burning bridges knowing your feet are made of clay 
       A                                    D 
Well I say you won’t be destroyed by your inventions 
         A                           D 
That you brought it all under captivity 
             A                             D 
And that you really do have all the best intentions 
           A        G    D      A 
But you’re making a liar out of me 


verse 2 
       A                                   D 
Well I say that you’re just young and self-tormented 
         A                  D 
But that deep down you understand 
    A                                       D 
The hopes and fears and dreams of the discontented 
      A                                     D 
That threaten now to overtake your promised land 
       A                               D 
Well I say you’d not sow discord among brothers 
    A                             D 
Nor drain a man of his integrity 
           A                                     D 
That you remember the cries of orphans and their mothers 
           A        G    D      A 
But you’re making a liar out of me 
           A        G           A 
But you’re making a liar out of me 


verse 3 
       A                                           D 
Well I say that, that ain’t flesh and blood you’re drinking 
       A                                 D 
In the wounded empire of your fool’s paradise 
       A                                      D 
With a light above your head forever blinking 
        A                   D 
Turning virgins into merchandise 
         A                                      D 
That you must have been beautiful when you were living 
      A                                D 
You remind me of some old-time used-to-be 
  A                                              D 
I say you can be trusted with the power you been given 
           A        G           A 
But you’re making a liar out of me 


verse 4 
   A                                 D 
So many things so hard to say as you stumble 
        A                         D 
To take refuge in your offices of shame 
       A                               D 
As the earth beneath my feet begins to rumble 
         A                                   D 
And your young men die for nothin’, not even fame 
           A                       D 
I say that someday you’ll begin to trust us 
              A                                        D 
And that your conscience has not been slain by conformity 
          A                              D 
That you stand up unafraid to believe in justice 
           A        G    D      A 
But you’re making a liar out of me 
       A        G    D      A 
You’re making a liar out of me 


Verse 5 
       A                             D 
Well I can hear the sound of distant thunder 
        A                               D 
From an open window at the end of every hall 
A                              D 
 Now that you’re gone I got to wonder 
A                              D 
 If you ever were here at all 
  A                           D 
I say you never sacrificed my children 
        A                        D 
To some false god of infidelity 
              A                                  D 
And that it’s not the Tower of Babel that you’re building 
           A        G    D      A 
But you’re making a liar out of me 
       A        G    D      A 
You’re making a liar out of me 
            A        G    D         A 
Now, you’re making a liar out of me
