[Verse 1]
 
Am
Lie awake in bed at night
                      F
And think about your life
 
Do you want to be different, different?
Dm
Try to let go of the truth
                      E
The balance of your youth
 
Cause this is just a game
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                 Am
It's a beautiful lie
                 F
It's a perfect denial
                 Dm
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
   E
So beautiful, beautiful
That makes me
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am
It's time to forget about the past
(the past)
                         F
To wash away what happened last
(happened last, happened last)
 
Dm
Hide behind an empty face
                       E
Don't have too much to say
 
Cause this is just a game
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                 Am
It's a beautiful lie
                   F
It's a perfect denial
                 Dm
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
   E
So beautiful, beautiful
That makes me
 
 
[Interlude]
 
Ohhhhh, beautiful..., ahhhhhh
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Am
Everyone lookin' at me
                      F
I'm running around in circles, angry
                    DM
Acquired desperation's building higher
                   E
I've got to remember this is just a game
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Am
(Lie...)
So beautiful, beautiful, it's a beautiful lie...
F
So beautiful, beautiful, it's a beautiful lie...
Dm
So beautiful, beautiful, it's a beautiful lie...
E
So beautiful, beautiful
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                 Am
It's a beautiful lie (beautiful, beautiful)
                  F
It's a perfect denial (beautiful, beautiful)
                 Dm
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
   E
So beautiful, beautiful
 
That makes me
