Standard (EADGBE)

Intro chords

My friends all ask how I’m doin’

 Since you took your sweet love away

 And I know that they’re just showing they care

 But what do they expect me to say

Chorus 1

 So I lie, I tell them I’m alright

 I lie, I tell them I’m fine

 I don’t think they really want to know the truth

what’s the use, what can they do

 So I look them straight in the eye and I lie

They offer a shoulder to cry on

Anytime, I just have to call

But little do they know, the river that would flow

 If I let the first teardrop fall

Chorus 1 Again

 So I lie, I tell them I’m alright

 I lie, I tell them I’m fine

 I don’t think they really want to know the truth

what’s the use, what can they do

 So I look them straight in the eye and I lie

Bridge

 I’ve often wondered what I’d do if I were to, run into you

 Would my heart fall at your feet, would my foolish pride get the best of me

Honestly, I believe

Chorus 2

That I’d lie and tell you I’m alright

I lie, I’d tell you I’m fine

I could never ever let you know the truth

That I’m still in love, and so confused

So I’d hide my pain deep inside

Then I’d look you straight in the eye and I’d lie
