Song: Compulsive Liar by Ezra Furman

THE SONG

remove these ads 
Intro: C

Verse 1:
C
I've got one fatal flaw:
C
I'm a compulsive liar
F
If I don't love you,
       C
I will tell you anything
C
And even if I love you
C
I'll always be conniving
F                    C
I'll always be negotiating with the truth

Verse 2:
G
And I can trace the habit
F         Fm7
To when I was eleven
Am            Em
And I thought boys were pretty
      F                G
And I couldn't tell no one

Verse 3:
C
It opens at a young age:
C
That all-protective closet
F
Just lock the door
           G
And settle in among the raincoats
C
The longer you stay in there
    C
The more you'll get distorted
F                           C
The more contorted all your lies will have to be

Verse 4:
G
Don't wait a moment longer:
F            Fm7
Stand up and turn the doorknob
Am            Em
And I'll tell you my secret
   F        G          C
If you will tell me yours

I think it would sound better if you played a b, but on the a string put your finger on the first fret instead of the second.

Biography

Ezra Furman is a singer and songwriter from Chicago, Illinois. It is difficult to peg her as part of a single musical genre because she loves to experiment with different styles of songwriting. Suffice it to say that Ezra makes up songs and plays them on her acoustic guitar with ferocious energy and gut wrenching sincerity. Her music is derivative of, but never completely part of, a number of musical genres: rock, blues, punk, folk and pop are some prime examples.
