Pop Lie chords by Okkervil River

Chords with lyrics

BB l x2

E MajorE
  all sweetly sung and succinctly stated
E MajorE
  words and music he calculated
BB
   to make you sing along
E MajorE
 BB
   with your stereo on as you stand in shorts on your lawn

E MajorE
   get completely incorporated
E MajorE
   by some couple who consummated
BB
   all their love by the dawn
E MajorE
    BB
  a falling star wished upon that flashed in the sky and was gone

BB
   and mouths wet   and blonde hair braided
E MajorE
   by the back room the kids all waited
BB
   to meet the man in bright green
A augmentedA
   BB
  who had dreamed up the dream that they wrecked their hearts upon

     BB
he’s the liar who lied in his pop song
      BB
and you’re lying when you sing along
      BB
yes you’re lying when you sing along


BB l x2


E MajorE
   so here’s the car seat so cruelly weighted
E MajorE
   and here’s to faces already faded
BB
 at the end of a day
E MajorE
    BB
   when they just threw away the only good thing that they owned
        BB
and now they’re  pinned down   and strangula---ted
E MajorE
  at the food court the float’s inflated
BB
  people line up to see
A augmentedA
   BB
	 the man who dreamed up the dream that they wrecked their hearts upon

     BB
he’s the liar who lied in his pop song
  BB
the liar who lied in his pop song
      BB
and you’re lying when you sing along,
        BB
oh yeah you’re lying when you sing along

BB
   week by week it climbs up and climbs on
     F# minorF#m
and we’re feeling all right but we know it’s all wrong
E MajorE
   I’m ashamed to admit that I cannot resist
          F# minorF#m
what I wish were the truth but it’s not
   BB
and I truly believe we’re not strong
     BB
and we’ll sing until our voices are gone
     BB
and then sink beneath the manicured lawn

BB l x2

E MajorE
   This is respectfully dedicated
E MajorE
   to the woman who concentrated
BB
   all of her love to find
E MajorE
 BB
