[Verse 1]
C
It's too late,
G
Love's in the past,
G                             C
Burned out with your last cigarette,
C
So long now,
G
Follow the sun,
G                                    C
And the morning will come, you'll forget,
Em           G                  C
But way down deep, you'll never sleep,
       Am
You'll always remember,
Em            G                  C
Her high wire grace, her smiling face,
      D
And a kiss like December.


[Chorus]
         C
When the sky,
G              D           C
Falls like the sunsets goodbye,
        G          D           C
And the will to pretend in you dies,
      G          D            Em
You remember the light in her eyes,
    D/F#    G       Bm    D
And how you left it all behind.
               C
When love is a lie.

[Verse 2]
C
And it goes on,
D/F#       G
Year after year,
    D/F#           G              C
The names stay the same, you move on.
C
And you break down,
D/F#       G
Day after day,
D/F#           G             C
Faith was just here and it's gone.
Em              G                 C
And soon you'll see, you're never free,
       Am
You'll always remember,
Em            G                  C
Her high wire grace, her smiling face,
      D
And a kiss like December.


[Chorus]
         C
When the sky,
G              D           C
Falls like the sunsets goodbye,
        G          D           C
And the will to pretend in you dies,
      G          D            Em
You remember the light in her eyes,
    D/F#    G       Bm    D
And how you left it all behind.
               C    G  D/F# Em
When love is a lie.
Em             C   G  D/F#
When love is a lie.

[Bridge]
C
It's too late,
       D/F#    G
You've already crashed,
    D/F#       G              C
Let go of your ghost from the past.


[Chorus]
Em   D/F# C
When the  sky,
G              D           C
Falls like the sunsets goodbye,
        G          D           C
And the will to pretend in you dies,
      G          D            Am
You remember the light in her eyes,
Em   D/F# C
When the sky
G              D           C
Falls like the sunsets goodbye
        G          D           C
And the will to pretend in you dies,
      G          D            Em
You remember the light in her eyes,
    D/F#    G       Bm    D
And how you left it all behind.
               C    D/F#  G  D/F#  G  C
When love is a lie.


[outro]
C
It's too late,
D/F#          G
Love's in the past,
D/F#                 G        C
Burned out with your last cigarette.
