[Intro]
Dm F  x2
[Strophe]
             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
[Strophe]
      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 
          Dm         Bb                             C       F 
Well you lie like a penny in a parking lot at the grocery store 
          Gm                      Bb 
It just comes so dang natural to you 
               F  C  Bb 
The way you lie 
               F  C  Bb 
The way you lie 
           Bb 
Well it’s what you do, it’s who you are
