Capo 1
Intro: Dm F x2
Dm
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
Bb G
So don’t bring me those big brown eyes and tell me
that you’re sorry
Bb C
You might as well throw gasoline on a fire
F C Bb
The way you lie
F C Bb F
You lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man’s floor
F C Bb F
Yeah you lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch
Dm Bb C F
Well you lie like a penny in a parking lot at the grocery store
Gm Bb
It just comes way too natural to you
F C Bb
The way you lie
Dm F
That ain’t my perfume, I bet she had a curfew
Bb C
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
F C Bb
The way you lie
F C Bb F
You lie like the man with the slicked back hair
who sold me that Ford
F C Bb F
Yeah you lie like a pine tree in the back yard after
last month’s storm
Dm Bb C F
Well you lie like a penny in a parking lot
at the grocery store
Gm Bb
It just comes way too natural to you
F C Bb
The way you lie
Bb
Well I tell you what I’m gonna do
Dm F
I’m gonna drive to the big old muddy river
Bb A
I’m gonna park my car in the middle
of the mile long bridge
Dm
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
Bb C
Down, down, down
F C Bb
And there it’s gonna lie until the Lord comes back around
F C
Because you lie like a priceless
Bb F
Persian rug on a rich man’s floor
F C Bb F
Yeah you lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch

Well you lie like a penny in a parking lot at the grocery store

F C Bb
The way you lie

The way you lie
Bb
Well it’s what you do, it’s who you are
