Love The Way You Lie
[intro]
Gm Eb
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
Bb
But that's alright because I
Fsus4
like the way it hurts.
Gm Eb
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
Bb
But that's alright because I
Fsus4
love the way you lie,
F
I love the way you lie
[verse]
Gm
I can't tell you what it really is,
I can only tell you what it feels like
Eb
And right now,
there's a steel knife in my windpipe
Bb
I can't breathe,
but I still fight while I can fight
Fsus4
As long as the wrong feels right,
it's like I'm in flight
Gm
High off of love, drunk from my hate,
Eb
it's like I'm huffin' paint and I love it,
the more I suffer, I suffocate
Bb
And right before I'm about to drown,
she resuscitates
Fsus4
Me, she fuckin' hates me, and I love it, Wait!
Gm
Where you going? I'm leaving you. No you ain't,
Eb
Come back. We're running right back,
Bb
here we go again, it's so insane
Cuz when it's going good, it's going great
Fsus4
I'm Superman with the wind at his back,
she's Lois Lane
Gm
But when and it's bad, it's awful,
I feel so ashamed,
Eb
I snap "Who's that dude?",
I don't even know his name
Bb
I laid hands on her,
I'll never stoop so low again
Fsus4
I guess I don't know my own strength
[chorus]
Gm Eb
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
Bb
But that's alright because I
Fsus4
like the way it hurts.
Gm Eb
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
Bb
But that's alright because I
Fsus4
love the way you lie,
Gm Eb
I love the way you lie
Bb Fsus4
I love the way you lie
[verse 2]
Gm
You ever love somebody so much,
you can barely breathe when you're with 'em?
Eb
You meet,
and neither one of you even know what hit 'em
Bb
Got that warm fuzzy feeling,
yeah them chills, used to get 'em
Fsus4
Now you're gettin' fuckin' sick of lookin' at 'em
Gm
You swore you'd never hit 'em,
never do nothin' to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's
Eb
face spewing venom in your words when you spit 'em
Bb
You push, pull each other's hair,
scratch, claw, bit 'em
Fsus4
Throw 'em down, pin 'em,
so lost in the moments when you're in 'em
Gm
It's the face that's the culprit,
it controls you both
So they say, you'd
Eb
best to go your separate ways
Bb
Guess that they don't know ya cuz today,
that was yesterday,
Fsus4
Yesterday is over and it's a different day,
Sound like broken records playing
Gm
over but you promised her,
next time you'd show restraint,
Eb
you don't get another chance
Bb
Life is no nintendo game, but you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
Fsus4
Guess that's why they call it "window pane"
[chorus]
Gm Eb
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
Bb
But that's alright because I
Fsus4
like the way it hurts.
Gm Eb
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
Bb
But that's alright because I
Fsus4
love the way you lie,
Gm Eb
I love the way you lie
Bb Fsus4
I love the way you lie
[verse 3]
Now I know we
Gm
said things, did things that we didn't mean
And we
Eb
fall back into the same patterns, same routine
Bb
But your temper's just as bad as mine is;
you're the same as me
Fsus4
When it comes to love you're just as blinded
Gm
Baby please come back, it wasn't you.
Baby it was me,
Eb
Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
Bb
Maybe that's what happens
when a tornado meets a volcano
Fsus4
All I know is I love you too much,
to walk away though
Gm
Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Eb
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice
when I talk?
Bb
Told you this is my fault,
look me in the eyeball
Fsus4
Next time I'm pissed,
I'll aim my fist at the drywall
Gm
Next time? There won't be no next time
Eb
I apologize, even though I know it's lies
Bb
I'm tired of the games,
I just want her back. I know I'm a liar,
Fsus4
If she ever tries to fuckin' leave again,
Ima tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
Just gonna
