Red Hot Chili Peppers – I Could Have Lied (Album: Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991))

(see Riff at end)
[B, B,   A,   G]             
There must be something, In the way I feel
That she don’t want me to feel
The stare she bares cut me,

I don’t care, You see so what if I bleed
[B, D,   A,   G] 
I could never change, Just what I feel
My face will never show, What is not real

A mountain never seems to have, The need to speak
A look that shares so many seek
The sweetest feeling, I got from you

The things I said to you were true
[B, D,   A,   G] 
I could never change, Just what I feel
My face will never show, What is not real

      [Em,     G,        D,         C]
C:  I could have lied I’m such a fool
      My eyes could never, never, never keep their cool
      Showed her and I told her how
      She struck me but I’m messed up now
(solo over pre-chorus chords)
But now she’s gone yes she’s gone away
A soulful song, That would not stay
You see she hides ’cause she is scared
But I don’t care, I won’t be spared

(chorus x 2)
