  Cm7
The very first rule
          Gm7
 That you learned in school
               Fm7/C  
 Was that you shouldn't try to fool
                   Cm7       G7
 The people you're close to
             Cm7
 And now you're finally full grown
    Gm7
 I really should've known
      Fm7/C
 If I left you on your own
                                 Cm7    G7
 You wouldn't do like you're supposed to

 Cm   Cm+   Fm7/C  Fm7/C  Cm  G7 
 Why'd you lie?

               Cm7
 Don't want to hear no alibis
                Gm7                   
 Don't want to know the reasons why
      Fm7/C
 You left me here to cry
                           Cm7      G7
 While you were out there loving him

                 Cm7
 And now you're acting real nice
           Gm7  
 You're all sugar and spice
          Fm7/C
 You've already thrown the dice
                   Cm7    G7
 Your chances are real slim

 Cm   Cm+   Fm7/C  Fm7/C  Cm  G7 
 Why'd you lie?
 Why'd you lie?

                   Fm7/C
 You'd better make a correction
     Gm7
 To all this deception
                        Cm7
 And start treating me right
        Fm7/C    
 'Cuz we had discussed it
       Gm7
 'Til I was disgusted
  Cm7
 There's one thing that I got to say
 
 All about sleeping in another man's bed

 Cm   Cm+   Fm7/C  Fm7/C  Cm  G7 
 Why'd you lie?
 Why'd you lie?

      Cm7
 The very first rule
       Gm7
 That you learned in school
                Fm7/C
 Was that you shouldn't try to fool
                     Cm7      G7
