Lie I Believe - The V-roys
Words and music by the V-roys
>From the album 'Just Add Ice' on E-squared records.
(This is Steve Earle's label, catalog # 1050-2)

This album was released in the fall of '96 and is an excellent 
roots-rock type record, though one tune (Cry) sounds a bit like 
early Police and others are reminiscent of, maybe, Cracker and 
even Elvis Costello w/ the Attractions.  However it gets binned, 
this is great American rock and roll laced with country, very 
well done, with loads of lyrical cleverness and passion but it 
probably won't be played on American radio since it doesn't fit 
snugly into a particular genre.  Let's just call it V-roys music, 
and f@!* the radio--buy the album!


E                                                     
Well I dial your number maybe 'third times a charm
                                          A
And you make a pillow in the crook of his arm
                      C#m                      E
When you put on your story I will sigh with relief
              A              B       E
Whatever you say dear its a lie I believe

E
Our car windows are steamy like the blue in your eyes
                                                    A  
And I stare at the moonlight shining down on your thighs
                     C#m                   E
Why is love that is so pure got to be so naïve?
                 A               B       E
I'll find that again dear its a lie I believe

E                 A                     C#m
But if you stand naked the mirror won't lie
                  B                               E
But it has to be filtered through the wish of an eye
                 A                          C#m
And all that I needed was your reflection of me
                 A            B       E
You said I was someone its a lie I believe


Instrumental break:
The first bar is a barre chord E minus bass notes, then slide 
down to Eb and then D (I'm not sure here but it sounds okay) 
before moving up to A for the second bar: play along and its 
easy to mimic.

E
Soon the valley will ripen not long after the snow
                                                  A
New loves will find me when they're old they will go
                       C#m                 E
But some love lasts forever that's why I grieve
              A             B       E
Time heals all wounds is a lie I believe


E                 A                     C#m
But if you stand naked the mirror won't lie
                  B                               E
But it has to be filtered through the wish of an eye
                 A                          C#m
And all that I needed was your reflection of me
                 A            B       E
You said I was someone its a lie I believe

                 A            B       E
You said I was someone its a lie I believe
                 A            B       E
You said I was someone its a lie I believe

Big rousing finish:
