C: x32010
G: 320033

Chorus:

D          C
Hey, white liar
G                                 D
The truth comes out a little at a time
       D                   C
And it spreads just like a fire
G                                    D
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
      C*         G*
And I don't know why,
      D
White liar


Verse:

D                              C
You better be careful what you do
                            G
I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes
                       D
If they ever found you out
                               C
You better be careful what you say
                         G
It never really added up anyway
                      D
I got friends in this town


D          C
Hey, white liar
G                                 D
The truth comes out a little at a time
       D                   C
And it spreads just like a fire
G                                    D
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
      C          G
And I don't know why,
      D
White Liar


Verse:

D                          C
You said you went out to a bar
                            G
And walked some lady to her car
                          D
But your face has more to tell
                                C
'Cause my cousin saw you on the street
                      G
With a red head named Bernice
                            D
Turns out you don't lie too well


Chorus:

D          C
Hey, white liar
G                                 D
The truth comes out a little at a time
       D                   C
And it spreads just like a fire
G                                    D
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
      C          G
And I don't know why,
      D
White liar


Bridge:

C*
Here's a bombshell just for you
G*
Turns out I've been lying too

D

Chorus:

    D           C
Now I'm a white liar
G                                 D
The truth comes out a little at a time
       D                   C
And it spreads just like a fire
G                                    D
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
      C*         G*
And I don't know why,
      D

Verse:

G*                                            G
Well I've been saved by the grace of southern charm
                                                     D
I got a mouth like a sailor and yours is more like a Hallmark card
                                    G                    E
If you wanna pick a fight well I'm gonna have to say goodnight
A                                          D*
I don't have to be hateful, I can just say bless your heart
    G
And even though I don't belong with your high life friends
                                              D
Doesn't mean we don't get together and try to make amends
                                 G               E
It's easier can't you see let's agree to just disagree
A                                                  D*
We don't have to like each other, but its sure fun to pretend


Chorus:

    G                            Am
So, let's shake hands and reach across those party lines
C                    D                  G
You got your friends just like I've got mine
         F                       C
We might think a little differently
                    Cm              G
But we got a lot in common you will see
                Am   D*    G
We're just like you, only prettier


Verse:

G*                                 G
Everybody says you gotta know your enemies
                                                   D
Even if they only weigh a hundred pounds and stand five foot three
                                       G               E
If you just smile and behave you could always get your way
                 A                                     D*
It's a universal plan that'll get you where you can in all societies


Chorus:

    G                            Am
So, let's shake hands and reach across those party lines
C                    D                  G
You got your friends just like I've got mine
         F                       C
We might think a little differently
                    Cm              G
But we got a lot in common you will see
                Am   D    G

You got your friends just like I've got mine

      Am                                         D

Hey I'm just like you only prettier

Intro:

C


Verse:

C                               F
I feel like the flowers in this vase
C
He just brought 'em home one day
            F
"Ain't they beautiful?" he said
        C                                       F
They've been here in the kitchen and the waters turnin' gray
        C                                   F          C        F
They're sittin' in the vase but now they're dead...dead flowers


Verse:

C                               F
I feel like this long string of lights
     C                               F
They lit up our whole house on Christmas Day
             C               F
But now it's January and the bulbs have all burned out
           C         F           C       F
And still, they hang,  like dead flowers


C  F


Chorus:

C                  F
  He ain't feelin' anything
   Am       G             F            G    C
My love, my hurt, or the sting of this rain
                F
I'm livin' in a hurricane
           Am                    G           F
All he can say is "Man, ain't it such a nice day"
      C    F
Yeah, yeah


C  F


Verse:

C                             F
I feel like the tires on this car
    C                                      F
You said they won't go far but we're still rollin'
  C                                   F
I look in the rearview and I see dead flowers in the yard
                   C                    F
And that string of lights, and it ain't glowin'
          C       F
Like dead flowers,
          C       F
Like dead flowers


Chorus:

C                  F
  He ain't feelin' anything
   Am          G         F             G    C
My love, my hurt, or the sting of this rain
                      F
I'm drivin' through a hurricane
           Am                   G           F
All he can say is "Man ain't it such a nice day"
    Am                            G*
Hey hey, I guess we'll just go to waste
          C       F
Like dead flowers


C  F  C  F


Outro:

          C      F  C  F
Like dead flowers

Verse:

G
Sometimes I wish I lived in Airstream homemade curtains

Lived just like a gypsy
Cadd9                               G
Break her heart and roll out of town
D                   Cadd9      G
Cause gypsies never get tied down


Verse:

G
Sometimes I wish I lived on a mountain

Drank from a stream

Instead of a fountain
Cadd9                              G
I'd stay there, on top of the world
D                 Cadd9      G
But I was born a red dirt girl


Chorus:

Cadd9
Unbridled, or tethered and tied
Em
Safety of the fence

Or the danger of the ride
Cadd9                 D    D*
I'll always be unsatisfied


Verse:

G
Sometimes I wish I lived by a pier

In a lighthouse with a chandelier
Cadd9                              G
I'd watch everybody's ships come in
D                 Cadd9         G
And then I'd sail away with them


Chorus:

Cadd9
Unanchored, in the storm
   Em
Or safely on the shore
Cadd9
If this is all I need,
                   D    D*
Why do I want more?


Outro:

G
Sometimes I wish I lived in Airstream homemade curtains
     Cadd9*      G*
Live just like a gypsy

My neighbor's car got stolen last night

Right out of his driveway

We heard the dog barking

We never paid them any mind

He said "I'm sorry to bother you, ma'am"

Ma'am, I know you don't know me from Adam

But these handprints on the front steps are mine
         C
Up those stairs, in that little back bedroom
           Em
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
      F
And I bet you didn't know, under that live oak
   C                             G
My favorite dog is buried in the yard

Mama cut out pictures of houses for years

Got muscles in her head, ain't never been used

Got stuck in the ice, without any clothes

Naked as the eyes of a clown
      G
I was crying ice cubes, hoping that I'd croak

When the sun came through the window, and the ice all broke
       G
I said son of a gun, man, that's just a joke

Verse:

G                                   Em
Carrying the weight on the end of a limb
            G                                      Em
You're just waitin' for somebody, to pick you up again
G                                     Em
Shaded by a tree, can't live up to a rose
        G                                Em
All you ever wanted was a sunny place to grow


Chorus:

C
Pretty little thing,
                    G
Sometimes you gotta look up
            C                                      G      D
And let the world see all the beauty that you're made of
           Em                                  G
'Cause the way you hang your head, nobody can tell
          Em           G
You're my Virginia bluebell
       Em         G
My Virginia bluebell


Verse:

G                                  Em
Even through a stone, a flower can bloom
         G
You just need a little push
                 Em
Spring is coming soon
G                                   Em
Umbrella in the rain, let it roll off your back
G                                     Em
Better what you can, realize what you have


Chorus:

C
Pretty little thing,
                    G
Sometimes you gotta look up
            C                                      G      D
And let the world see all the beauty that you're made of
           Em                                  G
'Cause the way you hang your head, nobody can tell
          Em           G
You're my Virginia bluebell


Bridge:

Put a little light in the darkest places
C
Put a little smile on the saddest faces


Chorus:

C
Pretty little thing,
                    G
Sometimes you gotta look up
            C                                      G      D
And let the world see all the beauty that you're made of
           Em                                  G
'Cause the way you hang your head, nobody can tell
          Em           G
You're my Virginia bluebell
       Em         G
My Virginia bluebell
