Chord/Tab song: Pop Lie

Okkervil River - Pop Lie

A E l E l A E B l x2

[B] all sweetly sung and [A]succinctly [E]stated
[A] words and music he c[E]alculated
[F#m] to make you sing a[B]long
[F#m] [B] [A] [E]
[B] with your stereo on as you stand in shorts on your lawn

[B] get completely in[A]corpo[E]rated
[A] by some couple who [E]consummated
[F#m] all their love by the [B]dawn
[F#m] [B] [A] [E]
a fa[B]lling star wished upon that flashed in the sky and was gone

[E] and mouths wet[F#m] and blonde hair[A] brai[B]ded
[A] by the back room the [E]kids all waited
[F#m] to meet the man in [B]bright green
[F#m] [B] [A]
who[B] had dreamed up the dream that they wrecked their hearts upon

he?s the [A]liar who [E]lied in his [B]pop song
and you?re [F#m]lying when you sing a[B]long
yes you?re [F#m]lying when you sing [B]along

A E l E l A E B l x2

[B] so here?s the car seat so [A]cruelly [E]weighted
[A] and here?s to faces al[E]ready faded
[F#m] at the end of a day[B]
[F#m] [B] [A] [E]
wh[B]en they just threw away the only good thing that they owned
and now they?re [E] pinned down[F#m] and strangu[A]la---[B]ted
[A] at the food court the f[E]loat?s inflated
[F#m] people line up to [B]see
[F#m] [B] [A]
[B] the man who dreamed up the dream that they wrecked their hearts upon

he?s the [A]liar who [E]lied in his [B]pop song
the [A]liar who [E]lied in his [B]pop song
and you?re [F#m]lying when you sing [B]along,
oh yeah you?re [F#m]lying when you sing [B]along

[A] week by week it climbs[B] up and climbs on
and we?re [E]feeling all right but we [F#m]know it?s all wrong
[A] I?m ashamed to ad[B]mit that I cannot re[E]sist
what I wish were the[F#m] truth but it?s not
and I [A]truly be[E]lieve we?re not[B] strong
and we?ll [A]sing until our [E]voices are[B] gone
and then [A]sink beneath the [E]manicured[B] lawn

A E l E l A E B l x2

[B] This is respectfully [A]dedi[E]cated
[A] to the woman who [E]concentrated
[F#m] all of her love to[B] find
[F#m] [B] [A] [E]
[B] that she had wasted it on the liar who lied in this song
