American Aquarium - The Day I Learned To Lie To You Chords

[Intro]
D Am/D D G6 G
D Bm A  D
 
[Verse 1]
    D
I told you the day we met
      G
That I'd never make you regret
  D                           Em   Em/A
Choosing me to stand by your side
    D                        D/F#
And I swear I had an honest plan
    G
To make myself an honest man
         D         A             D    D7
But the ones best-laid often go awry
 
[Chorus]
    G
And I know good and well
          A
That I'm goin' straight to hell
             D       D/E   D/F#    G
For all the things I put   you   through
          D
Yes, my biggest regret in life
      A
The thing that keeps me up at night
     G           A               D
The day I learned how to lie to you
 
 
[Verse 2]
       D
I've long set fire to things I love
       G
Told myself I don't deserve
    D                               Em  Em/A
To ever have and hold that kind of glory
     D
But I'll come back in a couple days
     G
To search the ash and memory
      D             A              D   D7
And start paintin' my side of the story
 
[Chorus]
    G
And I know good and well
          A
That I'm goin' straight to hell
     D               D/E   D/F#    G
For all the things I put   you   through
          D
Yes, my biggest regret in life
      A
The thing that keeps me up at night
     G           A               D
The day I learned how to lie to you

[Verse 3]
         D
For the lies, they started short and small
     G
But then they grew up big and tall
      Bm                                 Em   Em/A
Like that old oak tree out in our front yard
       D              D/E      D/F#
And without warning, late last May
    G
A branch, it snapped and then gave way
     D               A              G
It tumbled down and tore our home apart
           Bm              A                       G
Yeah, it tumbled down and tore right through your heart
 
[Outro Chorus]
       G                            D
And I lied when I told you I was different
       G                             A
And I lied when I told you I could change
         D               C
Now I'm stuck in Kansas City
        G
Wishing I could go back to
     D             A             G
The day I learned how to lie to you
         D             A            Bm
Oh, the day I learned how to lie to you
         G             A                 Em D/F# A D
Ah, the day I learned how to lie to you
