[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
