Intro: (G) (D) (A) (D) (Dsus) (D) (D/A) (G/B) (A/C#)   

(D) Hello, (A) Yeah this is (D) me.
Lord it's been a (D/E) long (D/F#) long (G) time.
I know this ain't no (D) social call,
So go (E7) ahead and get it off your (A7) mind. 
(D) You heard what?  
(A7) Well, it ain't (D) true.
I was here most (D/E) all (D/F#) last (G) night.
I got over you the (D) day you left.
Could it (A7) be somebody (D) lied.

They said what? 
That I was cryin'.
I haven't shed a tear in years.
That I spoke your name. 
Well, that's insane.
I hardly noticed you're not here.
That I showed your picture to some stranger. 
Don't you think I got no pride. 
They've been here at home, face down on the shelf.
Lord I bet somebody lied.

  But if (G) they were true.  
  What would it matter to you?  
  Would it (D) change the way you feel?
  If the (E7) rumors were right,  
  Would you be here tonight?  
  To (A7) help this old heart heal.

Well don't (D) worry (A) it wasn't (D) me.  
Just someone whose (D) world was (D/E) torn (D/F#) in (G) two.
Someone who looks a (D) lot like me and (A7) loves someone like (D) you. (Em) (D/F#) 

So (G) forget the tears I (D) never cried.  
Lord I (A7) bet somebody (D) lied.
