Shandy The Perfect Disguise
Kris Kristofferson
[Intro] [Verse 1] D Dsus2 D Shandy was somebody’s daughter Driving to something insane They busted her crossin the border Swift as a sniff of cocaine D Dsus2 D All she could pay was attention So all they could take was her time Proving an ounce of possession Ain’t worth a piece of your mind [Chorus] ’Cause nightmares are somebody’s daydreams Daydreams are somebody’s lies Lies ain’t no harder than telling the truth Truth is the perfect disguise [Verse 2] D Dsus2 D Locked in the gold-handled bathroom Martin was chaning his mind Shedding his humble pretentions One careful toke at a time D D Dsus2 And wiping the mask off the man in the mirror Who really was Billy the Kid Smilin at somebody dyin For something that he never did [Chorus] ’Cause nightmares are somebody’s daydreams Daydreams are somebody’s lies Lies ain’t no harder than telling the truth Truth is the perfect disguise [Verse 4] D Dsus2 D Soon as he sat down beside her Shining like Saturday night Shandy was his for the savin Sweet as she looked in the light D D Dsus2 And maybe they moved from the bar to the bedroom Maybe just stood there instead Martin woke up and screamin Dreamin of blood on the bed [Chorus] ’Cause nightmares are somebody’s daydreams Daydreams are somebody’s lies Lies ain’t no harder than telling the truth Truth is the perfect disguise
