(verse)
E5          G5           D5              E5(VII)  C5
I've got no politics, no influential friend or two 
E5         G5            D5                E5(VII)  C5
I've got ideas, but it's nothing I picked up at school 
E5         G5               D5              E5(VII)  C5
I might be running, but I'm never running back to you

(bridge - riff 1)
And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply 
And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie

(verse)
I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by 
You've got no power and my situation don't apply 
You ask me how I am, I lie and say I'm doing fine

(bridge)
And with your sugar-sweetened alibi, there was a truth I never knew 
And all the attitude you gave me, it's coming back to you

(chorus)
G                           D5       E5(VII) C5
String of lies, it's always compromise with you 
G                                D5         E5(VII) C5
String of lies, you know there's nothing better to do 
G                           D5             E5(VII) C5
String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you

(bridge)
And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply 
And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie

(solo)
E5-G5-D5-E5(VII)-C5
(4 times)

(chorus)
String of lies, we always compromise for you 
String of lies, you know there's nothing better to do 
String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you 
String of lies, we always compromise for you
