Biography:
Producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jon Brion grew up in a musical family: his father was director of the Yale concert and marching bands, his mother sang in jazz bands, and his siblings, Randy (a conductor/arranger in L.A.) and Laurie (a violinist), were both avid music students. Young Jon didn't deal with instruction or practice well, but his natural affinity for improvisation and melody more than made up for his impatience. Unwilling to conform to the conventional school system

difficult or whatever just play a G7.
Intro:
Cmaj7 D Em7 D
Cmaj7 D A7
Verse 1:
Cmaj7 G
Although she's none the wiser
A7 Cmaj7
Although we've barely met
G
I could recognize her
A7 Cmaj7
From the treatment that I get
G
So it's my duty to advise her
A7
If she breaks the rules
Cmaj7 D
I've said I'll quit though I'll admit
A7
That hasn't happened yet
Chorus 1:
(N.C.) Cmaj7 D
I believe she's lying
Em7 D Cmaj7 D
I trust her to undermine my faith in her in time
Em7 D Cmaj7 D
I have every confidence that she'll dismantle mine
A7
Given time
Verse 2:
Cmaj7 G
As sure as she is sitting here
A7 Cmaj7
She's sure that she's awake
G
And soon as were committing
A7 Cmaj7
Were admitting our mistake
G
So of course it's only fitting
A7 Cmaj7
That the course we're going to take
D
Is drawn and whereupon
A7
I'm slamming on the breaks
Chorus 2:
(N.C.) Cmaj7 D
I believe she's lying
Em7 D Cmaj7 D
I trust her to undermine my faith in her in time
Em7 D Cmaj7 D
I have every confidence that she'll dismantle mine
A7

Bridge:
Dm7 A7 Cm7 r1.(or G7)
Dm7 A7 Cm7 r1.(or G7)
Dm7 A7 Cm7 r1.(or G7)
Dm7 A7 Cm7
Verse 3:
Cmaj7 G
The power of suggestion
A7 Cmaj7
The element of chance
G
And the subject now in question
A7 Cmaj7
Is the same old song and dance
G
And the time that we invest in
A7 Cmaj7
Setting traps out in advance
D
So we can spend the weekend
A7
Staring in a trance
Chorus 3:
(N.C.) Cmaj7 D
I believe she's lying
Em7 D Cmaj7 D
I trust her to undermine my faith in her in time
Em7 D Cmaj7 D
I have every confidence that she'll dismantle mine

Great song. I recommend playing it with bar chords as
opposed to open chords. I'm pretty sure that's how Jon played
it on the album but I'm not totally sure.
