Candy Coated Lies

[Intro]
| Dm - | C - | Bb - | F Am |

[Verse 1]
Dm                     C
Just about done livin' this life
Am                          Bb
Look at my face when you're talking to me,
talking to me
Dm                         C
Brought a blunt knife to a gun fight
Am                     Bb      C
Words and phrases lock me in cages
    Dm                     C
I'm taking my time if it's alright
Am                          Bb
Hold the world up, but it's weighing on me,
weighing on me
Dm                       C
Watch it all fall from a great height
Am                      Bb        C
All these rats that are running races

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm    C        Am             Bb
Stay away, you push me to the edge
         Dm    C       Am            Bb
I need a tidal wave to drown out all the pain in me

[Chorus]
F
Just about to break,
C
I can't stand the taste of
Bb
Candy coated lies,
      Dm           Bb
these candy coated lies
F                   C
Every day the same, driving me insane
Bb
Candy coated lies,
      Dm           Bb
these candy coated lies

[Verse 2]
Dm C Bb F
Am       Dm                      C
  You're killin' my vibe for the last time
Am                       Bb
Vultures up high started preying on me,
preying on me
Dm                      C
Take a step back to the broadside
           Am                  Bb         C
'Cause I'm not as brave as I'm letting on to be
Dm                       C
Losing my breath but I'm alive
Am                          Bb
Should have spent more time fighting for me,
fighting for me
Dm                   C
Making my way to the bright side
         Am  Bb
Is there paradise?

[Chorus]
F
Just about to break,
C
I can't stand the taste of
Bb
Candy coated lies,
      Dm           Bb
these candy coated lies
F                   C
Every day the same, driving me insane
Bb
Candy coated lies,
      Dm           C
these candy coated lies

[Bridge]
| Bb - | C - | Dm - | Em F |

[Verse 3]
Bb                         C
Talons digging deep down inside of me
             Dm
Holding this absentee,
    Em        F
guilty and desperately

[Chorus]
F
Just about to break,
C
I can't stand the taste of
Bb
Candy coated lies,
      Dm           Bb
these candy coated lies
F                   C
Every day the same, driving me insane
Bb
Candy coated lies,
      Dm           Bb
these candy coated lies
F
Just about to break,
C
I can't stand the taste of
Bb
Candy coated lies,
      Dm           Bb
these candy coated lies
F                   C
Every day the same, driving me insane
Bb
Candy coated lies,
      Dm           C
these candy coated lies

[Outro]
Dm             C
Stay away, you push me to the edge
Bb
Candy coated lies,
      F            Am
these candy coated lies
         Dm
I need a tidal wave,
   C
to drown out all the pain in these
Bb
Candy coated lies,
      F            Am
these candy coated lies
