Its A Wonderful Lie

Paul Westerberg

Text File

Finally figured out a right-sounding way to play this. A lot of tabs I've seen don't work out, but this sounds good and looks like what Paul plays during live performances of song. So here we go (I've seen him use a 12 string, though it works well enough on a 6-er) Chords: Asus {x02200} Dsus2* {xx0230} F#m {244322} C# {446644} D# (?) {668866} *when playing Dsus2, works to hammer on the E string to make D once in a while Asus Get up from a dream and I look for rain Dsus2 Take an amphetamine and a crushed rat brain F#m Dsus2 How am I feeling? Better, I suppose Asus How am I looking, I don't want the truth Dsus2 What am I doin', I ain't in my youth F#m Dsus2 I'm past my prime... or was that just a pose? C# D# Dsus2 It's a wonderful lie, I still get by on those Asus I've been accused of never opening up Dsus2 You get too close then I keep my mouth shut F#m Dsus2 I'm gonna run to the wind where the big bad city blows C# D# Dsus2 It's a wonderful lie, I still get by on those C# D# Dsus2 It's a wonderful lie, I still get by on those. Asus Well you can dress to the eights, you can dress to main Dsus2 Make you feel great, this fortune and fame F#m Dsus2 Wearin' too much make-up... not near enough clothes C# D# Dsus2 It's a wonderful lie, I still get by on those C# D# Dsus2 It's a wonderful lie, I still get by on those. Asus So don't pin your hopes or pin your dreams Dsus2 On misanthropes or guys like me F#m Dsus2 But the truth is overrated... I suppose C# D# Dsus2 It's a wonderful lie, I still get by on those C# D# Dsus2 It's a wonderful lie, I still get by ... And that's it! In the studio version I believe there's an interlude in there somewhere, the 2nd or 3rd verse, but I've seen Paul play it live without, so, do whatever you want. first tab!
