Pop Lie chords by Okkervil River

B l x2

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

E

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

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

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


B l x2


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

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

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

B l x2

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