I’ve Lied – Archie Roach
                                          
        G                       C            
Sitting here in this lonely old guest house
    G            D            G           G7              
I’m sure that my life is all through
           G                    C          
Scratching fleas and watching a grey mouse
           G           D         G           G7              
I’m making love to the memory of you
                                          
        G                      C            
For without you I’m weak and uncertain
    G         D         G           G7              
And I feel so naked and cold
       G                  C                 
Like a window without any curtains
    G        D          G           G7              
My innermost feelings unfold
                                          
    C                                     
The drink I just had
                        G       G7                  
It wasn’t as bad as the first
    C                                      
And drinking won’t do
                          G        D                
When it’s only for you I thirst, I thirst
                                          
         G                    C            
For your kiss it quenches all burning
         G                D           G           G7              
And it’s sweeter than the sweetest of wine
           G                  C            
Now you’re gone I find myself yearning
        G         D        G           G7              
For the love that I left behind
                                          
  C
Nobody can heal 
                       G       G7                  
The pain that I feel inside
       C                                       
And if I said I’m strong
                        G       D         G 
And I’m never wrong – I lied, I lied... I lied
