Intro 2x: DmFDm
It ain't complicated
F
Well I've grown to hate it
Bb
I never liked the taste of crow
C
But baby I ate it
Dm
They tried to warn me
F
They said that you were ornery
BbG
So don't bring me those big brown eyes and tell me that you're sorry
BbC
You might as well throw gasoline on a fire
FCBb
The way you lie
FCBbF
You lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man's floor
FCBbF
Yeah you lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch
DmBbCF
Well you lie like a penny in a parking lot at the grocery store
GmBb
It just comes way too natural to you
FCBb
The way you lie
DmF
That ain't my perfume, I bet she had a curfew
BbC
You told me you were out with the boys and baby I believed you
Dm
So why you lookin' so nervous
Bb
You know you kind of deserve this
F
I ought to kill you right now
G
And do the whole wide world a service
Bb
Well my daddy's gonna straighten you out
C
Like a piece of wire, like a piece of wire
FCBb
The way you lie
FCBbF
You lie like the man with the slicked back hair who sold me that Ford
FCBbF
Yeah you lie like a pine tree in the back yard after last month's storm
DmBbCF
Well you lie like a penny in a parking lot at the grocery store
GmBb
It just comes way too natural to you
FCBb
The way you lie
Bb
Well I tell you what I'm gonna do
DmF
I'm gonna drive to the big old muddy river
BbA
I'm gonna park my car in the middle of the mile long BridgeDm
And then I'm gonna cry
F
Well maybe just a little
Bb
Then I'm gonna slip off the ring that you put on my finger
C
And give it a big old fling and watch it sink
BbC
Down, down, down
FCBb
And there it's gonna lie until the Lord comes back around
FC
Because you lie like a priceless
BbF
Persian rug on a rich man's floor
FCBbF
Yeah you lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch
DmBbCF
Well you lie like a penny in a parking lot at the grocery store
GmBb
It just comes so dang natural to you
FCBb
The way you lie
FCBb
The way you lie
Bb
Well it's what you do, it's who you are
