BED OF LIES 
by Rob Thomas and Paul Doucette

Chord Summary: F C Bb Dm Am Gm

Bb F C F 
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies, 
Bb F C Dm 
So toss me out and turn in, 
Bb F C F 
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes, 
Bb F C Dm 
I'm marking it down to learning 
C Bb 
I am 

F Bb F 
Don't think that I can take another empty moment, 
F Bb F 
Don't think that I can fake another hollow smile, 
C Dm Bb 
It's not enough just to be lonely, 
F Bb F 
Don't think that I could take another talk about it. 

C 
Just like me you got needs, 
Dm C 
And they're only a whisper away, 

And we softly surrender 
Dm Bb C 
To these lives that we've tendered away. 

Bb F C F 
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies, 
Bb F C Dm 
So toss me out and turn in, 
Bb F C F 
And they'll be no rest for these tired eyes, 
Bb F C Dm 
I'm marking it down to learning 
Bb F C Dm 
I'm marking it down to learning 
C Bb 
'Cos I can. 

F Bb F 
Don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over, 
F Bb F 
Don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong, 
C Dm Bb 
Where it's not enough just to be sorry. 
F Bb F 
Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in. 

C 
Tried to be more than me, 
Dm C 
And I gave 'til it all went away, 

And we've only surrendered 
Dm Bb C 
To the worst part of these winters that we've made. 

Bb F C F 
But I would not sleep in this bed of lies, 
Bb F C Dm 
So toss me out and turn in, 
Bb F C F 
And they'll be no rest for these tired eyes, 
Bb F C Dm 
I'm marking it down to learning 
Am F 
I am all that I'll ever be, 
A C Am 
When you lay your hands over me, 
F 
But don't go weak on me please, 
A C Gm C 
I know that it's weak, but god help me I need this. 

Bb F C F 
I would not sleep in this bed of lies, 
Bb F C Dm 
So toss me out and turn in, 
Bb F C F 
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes, 
Bb F C Dm 
I'm marking it down to learning 
Bb F C Dm 
I'm marking it down to learning
