G
It ain't complicated 
                           C
Well, I've grown to hate it  
     Am                                         D
I never liked the taste of crow but baby I ate it 


                      G
They tried to warn me 
                                  C
They said that you were ornery 
                Am                                                                      D
So don't bring me those big brown eyes and tell me that you're sorry 


Am              C                                       D

You lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man's floor 
        G                          D                               C                D
You lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch 
        G                               D                       C         D
You lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store 
C                    Am                       D
It just comes way too natural to you 
                     G D
The way you lie

 
                        G
That ain't my perfume

Am                                                                      D
You told me you were out with the boys and baby I believed you 


G
So why you lookin' so nervous 
                                C

                   G D
The way you lie

You lie like the man with the slick black hair who sold me that Ford 
        G                       D                               C               D
You lie like a palm tree in the back yard after last month's storm 
         G                              D                       C               D
You lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store 
C                    Am C
It just comes way too natural to you 
                    G D
The way you lie 


            C                                 D
Well, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do 
                Em C           Am              G
I'm gonna drive into the big ol' muddy river 
                C                          Am                               F
I'm gonna park my car in the middle of the mile-long bridge 
                             Em C         Am      G      D
And then I'm gonna cry well maybe just a little 
                        C                               Am
Then I'm gonna slip off the ring that you put on my finger 
C                       D                       G
Give it a big ol' fling and watch it sink 
D                    C
Down, down, down 


                Am   C
There it's gonna lie 
                A                       Am  D
Until the Lord comes back around 


G                                                D                     C                D
Because you lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man's floor 
        G                       D                                C              D
You lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch 
        G                               D                       C       D
You lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store 
                Am               C           D
