Chords

[Intro] A [Verse]
 A
Here you come draggin' in

   A
Three a.m. again

  A
Grinnin' that silly grin

  A
Smellin' just like sin

 D
Holdin' up that alibi that's tissue paper thin

 E
Diggin' down deeper and deeper

         E
In that hole you're already in
[Chorus]
              A            D
If you can't lie no better

              A            D
If you can't lie no better

              A            E
If you can't lie no better than that

     E                       A
You might as well tell the truth
[Verse]
    A
I know you been foolin' around

           A
With some fool from way 'cross town

        A
You're tearin' our good thing down

 A
Makin' me out your clown

 D
Lookin' for excuses that you know can't be found

    E
The more you're lips keep moving

    E
The more you keep losing ground
[Chorus]
              A            D
If you can't lie no better

              A            D
If you can't lie no better

              A
If you can't lie no better than that

     E                       A
You might as well tell the truth
[Bridge]
D
Said you were going with the girl

                    D
From up the street, but I know better

D
She came here looking for you

            D
And told me you never met her

     D
And you could be more discreet

 D
With your love letters

     E
And honey, I smell some other man

     E
All over your Cashmere sweater
[Solo] F#m D F#m D E [Chorus]
              A            D
If you can't lie no better

              A            D
If you can't lie no better

              A
If you can't lie no better than that

     E                       A
You might as well tell the truth
