[Verse]
G                      Am
activity's killing the actor
      D                         C/G  /B
and a cop's standing out in the road
Am               F  D7/F#
turning traffic away
G                                    Am
there was nothing she could do until after
         D                    C/G  /B
when his body'd been buried below
Am              F  D7/F#
way back in the day


[Chorus]
Em Am  Em                    /F#  C/G
oh my, nothing else could've been done
/F# G        G/F#   Em  D  C/G  B7/F#
 he made his life a lie so
Em Am    Em                 /F# C/G
he might never have to know anyone
/F# G        G/F#     Em  D   C  C#   Eb
    made his life the lie you know


[Verse]
G                              Am
I told him that he shouldn't upset her
              D                C/G  /B
and that he'd only be makin it worse
Am                 F  D7/F#
involving somebody else
G                              Am
but I knew that he'd never forget her
          D                  C/G  /B
while her memory worked in reverse
Am                       F  D7/F#
to keep her safe from herself


[Chorus]
    Em Am  Em                    /F#  C/G
and oh my, nothing else could've been done
/F# G        G/F#   Em  D  C/G  B7/F#
she made her life a lie so
Em  Am    Em                /F# C/G
she might never have to know anyone
/F# G        G/F*     Em  D   C  C#  Eb
    made her life the lie you know


[Outro]

G    Bm  F*      C9      Eb*  G        A*          C9
what I   used to be will pass away and then you'll see
     G  Bm  F*  C9     Eb*  G        A*      C9
that all I want now is happiness for you and me  (Repeat a few times)
