(Capo on 1)

(Intro.)
|(Am)(G/B)(C) / |(F) / (G)

(Verse 1)
Mama, I (Am)lied when (G/B)I was six-(C)teen
I said the bottle ain't (F)mine and I'll never smoke (G)weed
Now I've grown (Am)up you'd (G/B)think things have (C)changed
Hurts me just as (F)much to say they're the (G)same

(Chorus)
Mama, I (Am)lied he ain't a good (G)guy
He makes me (F)cry sometimes out of the (G)blue
I'm not sure (Am)why it took all this (G)time
I was a-(F)fraid of what you'd say to (G)do
(G)Guess I (C)wasn't ready yet to (Em)hear the hard (F)truth
So, Mama, I (Am)lied (G/B)(C) / |(F) / (G) / |

(Verse 2)
I'd wipe the (Am)tears as (G/B)quick as they'd (C)fall
Say everything's (F)fine every time that you'd (G) call
And I'd swear he's (Am)perfect hopin' (G/B)you couldn't (C)tell
He was stealin' my (F)spark walkin' me straight through (G) hell

(Chorus)
Mama, I (Am)lied he ain't a good (G)guy
He makes me (F)cry sometimes out of the (G)blue
I'm not sure (Am)why it took all this (G)time
I was a-(F)fraid of what you'd say to (G)do
(G)Guess I (C)wasn't ready yet to (Em)hear the hard (F)truth
So, Mama, I (Am)lied (G/B)(C) / |(F) / (G) / |

(Bridge)
You said (Am)when somebody shows you (G/B)who they really are (C)
You (G)better be-(F)lieve 'em (G)
So I (Am)painted him the only (G/B)way I thought you and (C)I
Would wanna (F)see him (G)

(Chorus)
Mama, I (Am)lied he ain't a good (G)guy
He makes me (F)cry sometimes out of the (G)blue
I'm not sure (Am)why it took all this (G)time
I was a-(F)fraid of what you'd say to (G)do
Guess I (Dm)wasn't ready yet to (Em)hear the hard (F)truth
And I can't (Dm)hide it anymore, I (Em)really need (F)you
