[Verse 1]
C#m B
Don’t slow down
A B
Keep the ceiling spinning around
C#m B
If you slow you know the truth
A
Will catch you tomorrow
B C#m B
You think the bottom of a glass holds peace.

Whiskey brings you sweet relief.

But it’s a liar, it’s a thief.
A B
You can’t drink away your sorrow.
[Chorus]
E B A B E
Was I lied to? Was I lying to myself?
B A B
Now I’m high and wide awake.

I wanted to run to you, so my eyes could see your face.

Someone’s lying in my place
B C#m B A B
So now I’m getting wasted.
[Verse 2]
C#m B
Last call for drinks
A B
You raise another glass and clink
C#m B
Clink until the bar stool you sink
A
I’m watching you wallow.
C#m B
Oh there’s many women here you could meet
A B
If you could stand on your two feet
C#m B
But you’re stumblin’ street to street
A B
Trying to drink away tomorrow
[Chorus]
E B A B E
Was I lied to? Was I lying to myself?

Now I’m high and wide awake.

I wanted to run to you, so my eyes could see your face.

Someone’s lying in my place

So now I’m getting wasted.

Six drinks wake the dead
[Chorus]

Was I lied to? Was I lying to myself?
