[Verse 1]
G
They never painted a picture like this
                            C       G
In stories I read back when I was a kid
G
L was for lion or leopard or lamb
                  C             D
But girl, with my heart in your hands


[Chorus]
         G           B           C
L is for leaving for all of your lies
                 Em             C              D          G
For stealing the light from the stars that you hung in my sky
                    B           C
For the liquor that lulls me to sleep
            Em      C              D
L ain't for Lisa or love, it's for lonely
                 G     G/B C   G  G/B  C
And watching you leave


[Verse 2]
G                            C           G
I knew his name, girl, while you still denied
                                         C            G
'Cause my friends ran the plates of that truck in our drive
                 G/B     C            G
Did he have his way in a bed that was mine?
G
See, I went through hell just to find


[Chorus]
              G           B           C
That L is for leaving for all of your lies
                 Em             C              D/F#       G
For stealing the light from the stars that you hung in my sky
                    B           C
For the liquor that lulls me to sleep
            Em      C              D
L ain't for Lisa or love, it's for lonely
                 Bm
And watching you leave


[Interlude]
C   Em   D/F#   G/B
C   Em   D


[Bridge]
         G                     C
L is for losing the love of my life
               Em     C             D
For leading me on and changing your mind


[Chorus]
         G           D           C
L is for leaving for all of your lies
                 G/B            C              D          G
For stealing the light from the stars that you hung in my sky
                    B           C
For the liquor that lulls me to sleep
            Em      C              G
L ain't for Lisa or love, it's for lonely
            Em      C              D
L ain't for Lisa or love, it's for lonely
            G       C              D
L ain't for Lisa or love, it's for lonely
                 G
And watching you leave
