I Could Have Lied

Red Hot Chili Peppers

intro: [Riff1]/x2

There must be something in the way I feel [Riff1]

That she don't want me to feel [Riff1]

The stare she bares cut me [Riff2]

I don't care you see so what if I bleed [Riff1]

I could never change just what I feel H D

My face will never show what is not real A G

h A G /x2

A mountain never seems to have the need to speak h

A look that shares so many seek _ _ A G h A G

The sweetest feeling I got from you

The things I said to you were true _ _

I could never change just what I feel H D

My face will never show what is not real A G

h A G

I could have lied I'm such a fool h G

My eyes could never never never keep their cool D C

Showed her and I told her how

She struck me but I'm fucked up now

h A G /x6

But now she's gone yes she's gone away h

A soulful song that would not stay _ _ A G h A G

You see she hides 'cause she is scared

But I don't care I won't be spared _ _

I could have lied I'm such a fool h G |

My eyes could never never never keep their cool D C |

Showed her and I told her how |x2

She struck me but I'm fucked up now |
