The Band Perry – You Lie
The Way You Lie, by The Band Perry
GIt ain't complicated
CWell, I've grown to hate it
Am DI never liked the taste of crow but baby I ate it
GThey tried to warn me
CThey said that you were ornery
Am DSo don't bring me those big brown eyes and tell me that you're sorry
Am C DWell you might as well throw gasoline on a fire
G D GThe way you lie
G D C DYou lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man's floor
G D C DYou lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch
G D C DYou lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store
C Am DIt just comes way too natural to you
G DThe way you lie
GThat ain't my perfume
CI bet she had a curfew
Am DYou told me you were out with the boys and baby I believed you
GSo why you lookin' so nervous
CYou know you're gonna deserve this
G DI oughta kill you right now and Do the whole wide world a service
Am C DWell my daddy's gonna straighten you out like a piece of wire, like a piece of wire
G DThe way you lie
G D C DYou lie like the man with the slick black hair who sold me that Ford
G D C DYou lie like a palm tree in the back yard after last month's storm
G D C DYou lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store
C Am CIt just comes way too natural to you
G DThe way you lie
C DWell, I'll tell you what I'm gonna Do
Em C Am GI'm gonna drive into the big ol' muddy river
C Am FI'm gonna park my car in the middle of the mile-long bridge
Em C Am G DAnd then I'm gonna cry well maybe just a little
C AmThen I'm gonna slip off the ring that you put on my finger
C D GGive it a big ol' fling and watch it sink
D CDown, down, down
Am CThere it's gonna lie
A Am DUntil the Lord comes back around
G D C DBecause you lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man's floor
G D C DYou lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch
G D C DYou lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store
Am C DIt just comes so dang natural to you
G D GThe way you lie
G D GThe way you lie
Am DWell it's what you do, it's who you are
