[Verse 1]
D
I know I have to leave,
G Em D
But I’ve found a thousand things to do.
D
None of them important,
G Em D
So I better hop right to.
D
I’d rather watch TV,
G Em D
Than relax with a book.
D
I know that’s not that cool,
G Em F#m
So I’ll give this page another look.
[Chorus]
F#m G
Straighten up my tie,
A D
I’m making up a life.
F#m G
Straighten up my life,
A
I’m making up a lie.
F#m G
Straighten up my tie,
A D
I’m making up a life.
F#m G
Straighten up my life,
A
I’m making up a lie.
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
D
Cooking meals for two,
G Em D
But I’m eating mine alone.
D
I enjoy the food,
G Em D
But the feeding leaves me cold.
D
I feel safe in churches,
G Em D
But I struggle to believe.
D
Maybe I’m a sinner?
G Em F#m
Maybe I am just a freak.
[Chorus]
F#m G
Straighten up my tie,
A D
I’m making up a life.
F#m G
Straighten up my life,
A
I’m making up a lie.
F#m G
Straighten up my tie,
A D
I’m making up a life.
F#m G
Straighten up my life,
A
I’m making up a lie.
I'm making up a lie-eeeeee
