(Available in PIANO!)
Mood : Emo Mood
Key : G Minor
This is one of my favorite songs. Of course, Part 2 is much easier to play because there are more Music Parts, and the Rap Part is awesome as well. Especially when the momentum builds.
On top of that, it's also one of the easiest songs to play by ear. You need to capture Rihanna's part well, and the mood during the rap part. That's all. Left Hand, just dance along.

Introduction
It just starts!
On the first page of our story, the future seems so bright.
And this thing turned out so evil, I don’t know why I’m still surprised.
Even angels have their wicked schemes and you take death to new extremes.
But you’ll always be my hero, even though you lost your mind.
(Right Hand plays Rihanna's Lyrics, simple on the first two lines, emotional on the 3rd and 4th. Left Hand plays chords for first two lines (G Bb D, G Bb Eb, F Bb D, F A C repeat). Next two lines, Left Hand dances on chords G, Eb, Bb, F back to G. Use Octave F to build momentum on the final line)
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
But that’s alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.
I love the way you lie.
(Chorus! Left Hand dances emotionally on chords G, Eb, Bb, F while Right Hand plays the Melody full of chords)
Now this gravel in our voices, glass is shattered from the fight.
In this tug of war, you’ll always win, even when I’m right.
Cause you feed me fables from your hand,
With violet words and empty threats and it’s sick that all these battles are what keeps me satisfied.
(Soft again, but louder than first time. Right Hand plays Rihanna's lyrics. Left Hand dances on G, Eb, Bb, F with slight pauses according to song)
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
But that’s alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.
Ohhh, I love the way you lie.
(Chorus! Left Hand dances emotionally on chords G, Eb, Bb, F while Right Hand plays the Melody full of chords)
So maybe I’m a masochist
I try to run but I don’t wanna ever leave.
Til the walls are goin’ up in smoke with all our memories.
(Bridge, Left Hand jumps an octave lower playing on Octave G twice, to Bb then to F, twice. Right Hand plays the lyrics)
[Eminem]
This morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face
smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
hush baby, speak softly, tell me I’ll be sorry that you
pushed me into the coffee table last night so I can push you off me
try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
run out the room and I’ll follow you like a lost puppy
baby, without you, I’m nothing, I’m so lost, hug me
then tell me how ugly I am, but that you’ll always love me
then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
destructive path that we’re on, two psychopaths but we
know that no matter how many knives we put in each other’s backs
that we’ll have each other’s backs, ’cause we’re that lucky
together, we move mountains, let’s not make mountains out of molehills,
you hit me twice, yeah, but who’s countin’
I may have hit you three times, I’m startin’ to lose count
but together, we’ll live forever, we found the youth fountain
our love is crazy, we’re nuts, but I refused counselin’
this house is too huge, if you move out I’ll burn all two thousand
square feet of it to the ground, ain’t shit you can do about it
with you I’m in my f–kin’ mind, without you, I’m out it
(Right Hand and Left Hand freestyle on chords G, Eb, Bb, F according to your own style. Keep it soft in the beginning, gradually getting louder and louder with increasing momentum!)
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
But that’s alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.
Ohhh, I love the way you lie.
I love the way you lie.
(Chorus! Left Hand dances emotionally on chords G, Eb, Bb, F while Right Hand plays the Melody full of chords)
