[Intro]
Em            G               Em               G
   I will not lie, I will not lie. I will not lie, I will not lie for you.
[Verse 1]
Em            C              G              C
Every time I see you fooling around on him,

        Em           A               D
I can't help, but remember, that he calls me his friend.
[Chorus]
          Em                   C                 G             Bm
It's only right for me to tell you when it's the wrong thing to do.

          Em                    A
It's only right that you should know

     D                        Em                       G
If he comes to me, I will not lie for you, no, I won't lie for you.
[Verse 2]
     Em             C                G       C
It's hard enough to see him stumbling blind,

    Em               A               D
I refuse to see him lose you and me at the same time.
[Chorus]
          Em                   C                 G             Bm
It's only right for me to tell you when it's the wrong thing to do.

          Em                    A
It's only right that you should know

     D                        Em                       G
If he comes to me, I will not lie for you, no, I won't lie for you.
[Bridge]
   D                  Am7                D               Am7
To come here as your friend and have you come on like my lover,

        D                  Am7            D          B7
like to bring things to an end between myself and my brother.

      Em            C               G
If it was any other man I would not interfere

            Em           A                  D
But if you come on to me again, I don't see how to stand clear.
[Chorus]
          Em                   C                 G             Bm
It's only right for me to tell you when it's the wrong thing to do.

          Em                    A
It's only right that you should know

     D                        Em                       G
If he comes to me, I will not lie for you, no, I won't lie for you.
[Instrumental] Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D B7 [Verse 3]
         Em         C                G
If it was any other man I would not interfere

           Em            A                  D
But if you come on to me again, I don't see how to stand clear.

          Em                   C                 G             Bm
It's only right for me to tell you when it's the wrong thing to do.

          Em                    A
It's only right that you should know

     D                        Em                       G
If he comes to me, I will not lie for you, no, I won't lie for you.
[Outro]
            Em                                G
No, I won't lie for you, little girl, I won't lie for you.

            Em                             G
No, I won't lie to him for you, I will not lie for you.
