[Verse 1]
C               F
Tired of seven hours a day
    G                F
And weekends that go too fast
  C                F
I set my sights on boardwalk streets
      G                C
And a sunset that will last
  C                   F
I grabbed my coat and told my friends
     G           F
That I was going away
       C                    F
Just a few long miles and a few good smiles
    G                  C
And I'll have my love today

[Chorus]
F  G   C         Am
  Ohh, lie, lie, lie
    F      G       C
Why must I look so hard?
F  G   C         Am
  Ohh, lie, lie, lie
F      G     C
Must I be so far?

[Verse 2]
C                        F
Intent on a life that is what I dream
  G             F
I set out to be free
C                  F
Turned my check on my beliefs
     G                    C
With whatever in front of me
C                   F
Sick of words like 'trust' and 'hope'
     G                      C
And 'hey man, you got to be good'
    C              F
But if I want I'll sit and stare
    G                      C
All day at the clouds like I wished I could

[Chorus]
F  G   C         Am
  Ohh, lie, lie, lie
    F      G       C
Why must I look so hard?
F  G   C         Am
  Ohh, lie, lie, lie
F      G     C
Must I be so far?

[Bridge]
Am
    And just for tonight
C                        Am
    A place to rest my head
                 C
My syes were heavy
                          Am
But I found no peace in this bed
                         C
With the silence around
                   F
I felt so alone again
                            G
Well, I closed my eyes with lifted hands

And I fell to my knees instead

[Verse 3]
C                    F
Tired of tears and a broken heart
    G                   F
And love that fades too fast
  C                 F
I set my sights for golden streets
      G                  C
And a joy that will ever last...

[Out-Chorus]
F  G   C         Am
  Ohh, lie, lie, lie
    F      G       C
Why must I look so hard?
F  G   C         Am
  Ohh, lie, lie, lie
F      G     C
Must I be so far?
F  G   C         Am
  Ohh, lie, lie, lie
    F      G       C
Why do  I look so hard?
F  G   C         Am
  Ohh, lie, lie, lie
F      G     C    F    G
Lord You've never been far
F               G    Am
   You've never ever been far
