[Verse 1]
C                                                   Am
Well little girl you can roll your eyes at the very sight of me
                  F
Do everything in spite of me
                   G          D#
But baby don’t you lie to me
C
I’ll take your mood swings
                           Am
I’ll dig a hole in your dishonesty
                          F
I will kneel down in your company
                   G
But baby don’t you lie to me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
             D#          C  
I’ll be your red-cheeked lover
         D#       C
And your man of regret
               D#         C          Bb        G
There’ll be no desert too dry and no ocean too wet
             D#       C      
I’ll be your punchbag substitute
     D#           C
I’ll sharpen your claws
              D#       C                 Bb    G        
When you come tumbling down you’re still in my thoughts

[Chorus 1]
                  G#                            D#
Well there’s just one thing baby I could never abide
          Bb                         D#           Bb
No matter how much you beg no matter how hard you try
        G#                         D#
You can tell me that I’ll never be free
                   Bb   
But baby don’t you lie to me

[Verse 2]
C                                                     Am
Well little sister I can handle the thought of you despising me
                           F
Dancin’ on my grave and baptising me
                          G          D#
As long as baby you don’t lie to me
C
I’ll bend until you have broken my will
           Am
I’ll be no enemy
                                  F
You’ll never hear so much as a complaint from me
                          G        
As long as baby you don’t lie to me

[Chorus 2]
             D#      C  
Well you can take my house
      D#      C
Don’t take my pride
            D#         C         Bb             G 
Take all my valentines cards and tear them open wide
D#       C        D#      C
Chase my friends, ruin my name
        D#         C            Bb      G
I won’t ever fight back I’ll be easy to blame
                  G#                    D#
Well there’s just one thing baby I will always despise
        Bb                        D#             Bb
Not the crack of your whip or the hatred in your eyes
      G#                  D#
I got only one reasonable plea
               Bb 
Baby don’t you lie to me
               G#                          D#      
Burn my house, throw me out, pull me down, sell my clothes
             Bb                      D#        Bb
I’ll dig you out of a hole when your ignorance shows
        G#                      D#
I’ll be anything you need me to be
               Bb 
Baby don’t you lie to me

[Bridge]
B               F#
Every time your lips move baby
B                   F#
Someone somewhere’s bound to cry
B            F#                 G#
I don’t even think you’re quite aware of how or why
B                  F#
Life for you could be so easy
B             F#
If you’d only shut your mouth
B              F#    
Every time you feel those words come

[Interlude]
G#                                    F#
Runnin’ out, runnin’ out, runnin’ out 
G#                                    F#
Runnin’ out, runnin’ out, runnin’ out 
Bb                                   
Runnin’ out, runnin’ out, runnin’ out 
Bb                          
Runnin’ out, runnin’ out, runnin’ out 
Bb
Ahhhhh

[Chorus 1]
                  G#                            D#
Well there’s just one thing baby I could never abide
          Bb                         D#           Bb
No matter how much you beg no matter how hard you try
        G#                         D#
You can tell me that I’ll never be free
                   Bb   
But baby don’t you lie to me

[Bridge]
                 G#                  D#               
Drag my name and reputation over the cold hard stones
         Bb             
Break my heart up into pieces honey
D#         Bb
Shatter my bones
        G#                     D#
You can kill me with your repartee,
               Bb
Baby don’t you lie to me

[Chorus 1]
                  G#                    D#
Well there’s just one thing baby I will always despise
        Bb                        D#             Bb
Not the crack of your whip or the hatred in your eyes
      G#                  D#
I got only one reasonable plea
               Bb 
Baby don’t you lie to me

[Bridge]
                             G#                    D#      
Burn my house, throw me out, pull me down, sell my clothes (Oh Yeah!)
             Bb                      D#        Bb
I’ll dig you out of a hole when your ignorance shows
        G#                      D#
I’ll be anything you need me to be
               Bb 
Baby don’t you lie to me
