Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

x2

How many times have you used that line?

Did you replace the last two dozen names with mine?

Was “I love you, baby” second nature by now?

‘Cause it sounds awful rehearsed when the words leave your mouth

I don’t know why

  But it seems that I’m not the first

  To have heard this speech

Is this a routine you just repeat?

  'Cause I don’t mean to presume that

You don’t love me like you say you do

  But you’re gonna have to prove that you’re true;

  And you’re not just talkin’ smooth

x2

Your performance deserves an academy award

  And it’s a double-edged-sword ‘cause I sure feel adored

Just between us, I’d rather see you slip up

  Don’t you know, it’s those less than perfect words

  I can’t get enough of

Maybe I’m out of my head

  But I’m telling you, baby, that I’ve been misled

So if the record’s off, could you get it set?

I don’t mean to presume that

You don’t love me like you say you do

  But you’re gonna have to prove that you’re true;

  And you’re not just talkin’ smooth

  Well you’ve proven your charm is a crime

Why don’t you see the harm

  In relying on this disguise?

  You’re losing me with every little

x2

Wink of the eye

The end of my rope

  Is slipping out of my hold

So, if you’re clever, you’d better

  Do some damage control

And I don’t know why, but it seems

  You’ve made a game out of

  Making a fool out of me

And I did not sign up

  To be your tongue-in-cheek

I don’t mean to presume that

You don’t love me like you say you do

  But you’re gonna have to prove that you’re true;

x2

And you’re not just talkin’ smooth

Oh can you prove you’re not just talkin’ smooth
