[Verse 1]
Am                Em           Dm
The working man's day, we just piss it away
Am     Em         Dm
We sit out in the weather 
Am             Em          Dm
"Familiar," he said, "time soon breeds contempt,"
Am        Em             Dm
Wash your hands of it forever
Am           Em                 Dm
Violence, it ripped through the old dogwood fence
Am      Em            Dm
See the whole scene unravel 
Am                Em            Dm
The drunk brother said he could reason with them

[Chorus]
           C                   Em                Dm
While they lied at night, they lied at night, oh they lied
           C                   Em                Dm
While they lied at night, they lied at night, oh they lied

[Verse 2]
Am              Em          Dm
The picture was left on the front porch, the back said, 
   Am                  Em            Dm
"I love you, don't you ever think of me?"
   Am      Em           Dm
If my body goes then to hell with my soul
Am       Em            Dm
We don't even know the difference
    Am                Em          Dm
The dead folks in the clouds, for crying out loud

[Chorus]
           C                   Em                Dm
While they lied at night, they lied at night, oh they lied
           C                   Em                Dm
While they lied at night, they lied at night, oh they lied

[Bridge]
    G           Dm
And why, did we live so long
C   Em   Dm
Long
C   Em   Dm
Long

[Verse 3]
    Am               Em            Dm
The house is not the same since we left it that day
Am  Em              Dm
Old friends seem to wander
Am           Em            Dm
Our parents' hands, cigarettes, wedding bands

[Chorus]
           C                   Em                Dm
While they lied at night, they lied at night, oh they lied
           C                   Em                Dm
While they lied at night, they lied at night, oh they lied

[Bridge]
    G           Dm
And why, did we live so long
C   Em   Dm
Long
C   Em   Dm
Long

[Chorus]
           C                   Em                Dm
While they lied at night, they lied at night, oh they lied
           C                   Em                Dm
While they lied at night, they lied at night, oh they lied
           C                   Em                Dm
While they lied at night, they lied at night, oh they lied
C      Em      Dm
Oh....
