[verse: 1]
    Cm7          
The very first rule
Gm7
   That you learned in school
           Fm7              
Was that you shouldn't try to fool
                 Cm7      G7#9 
The people you're close to

               Cm7       
And now you're finally full grown
Gm7
   I really should've known
      Fm7
If I left you on your own
                           Cm7         G7#9 {punch}
You wouldn't do like you're supposed to

[chorus:]  
Fm7   Fm7 Cm7 |  Fm7 Fm7 Cm7 | G7#9 |
Why'd you lie 

[verse: 2]
    Cm7          
I don't want to hear no alibis
Gm7
    Don't want to know the reasons why
           Em7              
You left me here to cry
                        Cm7          G7#9
While you were out there loving him

              Cm7       
And now you're acting real nice
Gm7
    You're all sugar and spice
        Fm7
You've already thrown the dice
                Cm7    G7#9 (punch)
Your chances are real___ slim
 

[chorus:]
Fm7   Fm7 Cm7 |   Fm7 Fm7 Cm7  | Cm9  |
Why'd you lie


[bridge:]
             Fm7
You'd better make a correction
   Gm7
To all this deception
            Cm7            Cm7 {punch}  Cm7 {punch}
And start treating me right
       Fm7
'Cause we had discussed it
     Gm7
'Till I was disgusted
Cm7 {let ring }
There's one thing that I've got to say
All about sleeping in another man's be-eeee--ed

[chorus:]
