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