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
