	        Intro: Em 


Em    G               D  F#m         
Allie, what would you do? 
C                                                       Em 
When there's bombs in the middle east, you want to hurt yourself 
A                                                        Em 
When there's knives in the city streets, you want to end yourself 
D                                                    C   G           B 
When there's fun in your mother's house, you want to cry yourself to sleep 


Em     G              D    F#m 
Allie, what would you do? 
C                                              Em 
With your fears, because they're adding one by one 
A                                          Em 
And your mountains are obscured behind the sun 
D                                   Em         G    C 
And the person that you could be is crumbling into dust 



G                                   C 
You're in the mess 'cause you thought 
G 
You'd be someone else 
Am                                   Em 
'Cause the tricks in your head are a lie 
Am                                  Em  
Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie 
D 
Yeah, the tricks in your head are 
Am                        Em 
Tricks in your head are a lie 



Em     G            D   F#m         
Allie, hand on your head 
C                                        Em 
And a prayer from the soon-to-be-closing library 
A                                             Em 
And if you looked from here, you would surely see 
D                                           Em      G  C 
There's a softness in your heart, there's a poetry to come 



G                              C 
You bought that gun 'cause you thought 
G 
You'd be someone else 
Am                                   Em 
'Cause the tricks in your head are a lie 
Am                                  Em 
Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie 
D 
Yeah, the tricks in your head are a  
Am                            Em 
The tricks in your head are a lie 




(arpeggio) 
D                           C 
You made a list of all your heroes 
D                                    C 
And you thought about what they went through 
Am                                     G 
Yeah, you thought about what they went through 
F                 Em                                          D 
It's much darker, much harder, than anything that happened to you 
  


Solo (same rhythm as first verse): 

Em, G, D, F#m, C, Em, A, Em, D, C, G, B 
     


Em     G              D    F#m  
Allie, what would you do? 
C                                            Em 
When your seven-year plan happens to someone else 
A                                             Em 
And the people in your life you would happily shelf 
D                             Em    G       C 
When day falls night, you are truly on your own 
  


G                               C 
You're in this place 'cause you thought 
G 
You'd be someone else 
Am                                Em 
But the tricks in your head are a lie 
Am                                  Em 
Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie 
D 
Yeah, the tricks in your head are a  
Am                        Em 
Tricks in your head are a lie 


Repeat Chorus once more for the outro.
