			     TELLING LIES - Great Northern
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The chord names are fucked up.

Intro:

(In the acoustic version Bixler plays the Cm as major and only strums the top four
strings. You can do the same if you like.)

   /      

Verse:

                
     Step on the tracks
                
     Feel you're alive
                
     It's not any worse
                
     Closer in time

Chorus: (all G's in this song are barres.)

                  
It's like a Per --- fect picture of
           
     Ordinary life
                  
You hit the bot --- tom
                     
     To see if you're alive
                       
     You'll be here some time
                       
     Traces   in  your  eyes

Verse (as above):

Bending backwards to look behind
Pushing forward, killing in time
You thought it would change in time
You thought it would change your mind
You thought you'd be first in line
You thought it would change your life

Chorus (as above):

It's like a perfect picture of
Ordinary life
You hit the bottom
To see if you're alive
You'll be here some time
Traces in your eyes

Bridge/Refrain:

(The strumming pattern changes here so listen to the record to get it down. This
can be played many ways, the acoustic version is nothing like this.)

           

                                                    
You'll be better off not wasting your time
                                                    
A sentimental heart is always last in line
                                    (barre)   
A sentimental heart is always last in line

Chorus (as above):
It's like a perfect picture of
Ordinary life
You hit the bottom
To see if you're alive

                  
It's like a Per --- fect picture of
           
     Ordinary life
                  
You hit the bot --- tom
                   
     To see if you're alive
                   
     To see if you're alive
