[Verse]

F      C                     Bb
If an apology from you meant anything
                       F
I'd accept it now with grace
            C                       Bb
But you and I both know it's just a ploy for you to save some face
F          C                               Bb
If you had any self respect you'd turn yourself in for your crime
Bb                          C
But every time you tell yourself it's alright
Bb                   C
Every time you go to sleep at night
Bb                      C
Every time you tell yourself it's alright


[Chorus]

          F                  Bb
It just becomes a bigger lie
                    C                F    C Bb F C Bb
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight


[Verse 2]

F               C
In between days full of hypertension
Bb
Basking in the memories you hold so dear
   F                   C
Remember the vibrant defining moments
    Bb
The king making manoeuvres and the grand ideas
    F                               C
I'm glad to see the world through a different window
    Bb
But glory doesn't colour every move I make
   F                    C
No lies, no fiction, no rose-pink lens
       Bb
Just a truthful look at the love I gave to you
Bb                          C
But every time you tell yourself it's alright
Bb                   C
Every time you go to sleep at night
Bb                      C
Every time you tell yourself it's alright


[Chorus 2]

          F                  Bb
It just becomes a bigger lie
                    C                F    C
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
  Bb                                 F    C
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
  Bb
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight


[Bridge]

Dm                 C
Hallelujah I found love
Dm                 C    Bb
Hallelujah I found love


[Verse 3]

F                             C
Every praying saints pray for natures sinners
   Bb
Preserving every pillar that was so hard upon
F                        C
Fold into the chest of a mother's clutch
Bb
Relish in the lure of a distant sun
        F                                 C
Now I'm glad to see the world through the winter ballad
    Bb
The colour wheels stall between the green and blue
   F                       C
No white, no snow melt, no ice bound lakes
       Bb
Just a bird song strung across the cobalt blue
Bb                          C
But every time you tell yourself it's alright
Bb                   C
Every time you go to sleep at night
Bb                      C
Every time you tell yourself it's alright


[Chorus 3]

          F                  Bb
It just becomes a bigger lie
                    C                F    C
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
  Bb                                 F    C
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
  Bb                                       F
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
