David Sneddon - Stop Living The Lie guitar tab

Verse 1:

E E7 A

He sits alone at a table in the small cafe

E E7 A

Counting his tears in a bottomless cup of coffee

F#m A

And he's tumbling into his thoughts

F#m A

His memories are all tied in knots

F#m G#m A

Who is going to save him

F#m G#m A

No one wants to know him

Verse 2:

She stands alone in a place where no one knows her name

She catches them staring they turn round and finish the drink

and She's nursing her head and her pride

She died long ago deep down inside

Who is going to save her

No one wants to know her.

Chorus:

E Emaj7 A

I can't believe that you pull on a sleeve when you cry

E Emaj7 A

You stick in the knife then give the kiss of life, live the lie

F#m G#m A F#m G#m A

We all have a saviour, so do yourself a favour,

E

Stop living the lie.

Verse 3:

He sits alone and looks up to the eyes of an angel

She catches him staring and smiles the smile of an angel

And she asks him if this chair is free

He says "yes, will you sit here with me?"

No one would have saved him

We should all learn from them

Chorus:

I can't believe that you pull on the sleeve when you cry

You stick in the knife then give the kiss of life, live the lie

We all have a saviour, so do yourself a favour,

Stop living the lie.

Lie

The lie

Living the lie.

I like this song when done either with piano or acoustic guitar, especially

if you don't try to copy David Sneddon and make it your own.

You can play this with the standard chords that fit the names above, or an

alternative that I use for the F#m, G#m, A progression:

F#m (ish)

x44200

G#m (ish)

x66400

A (ish)

077600

If you want to you can also chuck in the E5 variant at the end of that

progression (to replace E major where appropriate)

E5

079900
