You Lie
The Band Perry
Capo 1

Dm F  x2

             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

      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
