Intro: Em   Em   Em   Em   Em   Em   Em   Em
             
             Em
The sweetest dreams I ever heard.

How I hung on every word
         B7                           Em
When you told me we would always be together
       Em
On the earth down below

There were things I didn't know
       B7                       Em
When I made all my plans for forever.

C                     G
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lies
D                        Em
So sweet to hear but the truth's in your eyes
C                 G       C    C7
It was so easy to be hypnotised
          Em          B7        Em   Em   Em   Em
They were nothin' but beautiful lies

         Em
Well the words came with ease

You could paint a masterpiece.
B7                    Em
Lines couldn't be any clearer

Just like castles made o' sand

Filled with sleight of hand
       B7                     Em
It was only a trick done with mirrors.

C                     G
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lies
  D                      Em
I heard what I wanted to hear at the time
C                 G       C    C7
It was so easy to be hypnotised
         Em            B7        Em   Em
When you told me those beautiful lies

                           G    C    C7  Em    B7    Em   Em   Em   Em

            Em
There's not much left to say

'bout the scenes that I replay
       B7                       Em
That I watch on the walls of my room
         Em
Now it's lonely and late

There's a fool who still waits
        B7                   Em
For the rose that will never bloom

C                     G
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lies
D                        Em
So sweet to hear but the truth's in your eyes
C                 G       C    C7
It was so easy to be hypnotised
         Em            B7        Em
When you told me those beautiful lies
C                 G       C    C7
It was so easy to be hypnotised
          Em            B7        Em
While you told me those beautiful lies
          Em          B7        Em
They were nothing but beautiful lies
