Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

x2

 It ain’t complicated

 Well I’ve grown to hate it

 I never liked the taste of crow

 But baby I ate it

 They tried to warn me

 They said that you were ornery

 So don’t bring me those big brown eyes and tell me that you’re sorry

 You might as well throw gasoline on a fire

 The way you lie

 You lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man’s floor

 Yeah you lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch

 Well you lie like a penny in a parking lot at the grocery store

 It just comes way too natural to you

 The way you lie

 That ain’t my perfume, I bet she had a curfew

 You told me you were out with the boys and baby I believed you

 So why you lookin’ so nervous

 You know you kind of deserve this

 I ought to kill you right now

 And do the whole wide world a service

 Well my daddy’s gonna straighten you out

 Like a piece of wire, like a piece of wire

 The way you lie

 You lie like the man with the slicked back hair who sold me that Ford

 Yeah you lie like a pine tree in the back yard after last month’s storm

 Well you lie like a penny in a parking lot at the grocery store

 It just comes way too natural to you

 The way you lie

 Well I tell you what I’m gonna do

 I’m gonna drive to the big old muddy river

 I’m gonna park my car in the middle of the mile long bridge

 And then I’m gonna cry

 Well maybe just a little

 Then I’m gonna slip off the ring that you put on my finger

 And give it a big old fling and watch it sink

 Down, down, down

 And there it’s gonna lie until the Lord comes back around

 Because you lie like a priceless

 Persian rug on a rich man’s floor

 Yeah you lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch

 Well you lie like a penny in a parking lot at the grocery store

 It just comes so dang natural to you

 The way you lie

 The way you lie

 Well it’s what you do, it’s who you are
