As recorded by Bobby Bare (From the 1979 Album HIGH AND DRY) [Intro] C [Verse 1]
C                       G7                C
Yes, my wedding band is just too loose to hold me

       G7                             C    C7
'Cause it slips off my finger now and then

 F                                   C
Especially when I'm laying here with Anna in my arms

       D7                             G7
Lord I find it's gettin' harder to pretend
[Verse 2]
       C              G7            C
'Cause Anna she don't know how much I'm married

G7                              C   C7
If she did I know she'd want to die

    F                           C
But what she doesn't know won't hurt her

     G7                                   C
So I lay right here and tell her one more lie
[Chorus]
F                    C  G7 C
Laying here lying in bed

  G7                             C                   C7
I know what she wants to hear so that's what will be said

    F                                 C      Em    Am
The truth would only hurt her so I'll tell a lie instead

G7                   C    A7
Laying here lying in bed
[Verse 3]
     D          A7                     D
When I get home I'll kiss the tie that binds me

       A7                            D   D7
'Cause he's the apple of his daddy's eye

       G                                 D
If his mama wakes and asks me where I've been and if I love her

A7                             D
Lord I'll have to tell another lie
[Out-Chorus]
G                    D  A7 D
Laying here lying in bed

  A7                             D                   D7
I know what she wants to hear so that's what will be said

    G                                 D          Bm
The truth would only hurt her so I'll tell a lie instead

A7                   D
Laying here lying in bed

        A7                  D
I'll be laying there lying in bed
