Bm  G  D
BmMy friends all Aask how I’m Gdoin’ 
Since Bmyou took your Dsweet love aAway 
And BmI know that Athey’re just Gshowing they care 
But Gwhat do they expect me to Asay 
Chorus 1:
So I Bmlie, GI tell them I’m aDlright 
I Bmlie, I Gtell them I’m Afine 
I don’t Bmthink they really want to know the truth 
F#mwhat’s the use, what can they do
So BmI look them Astraight in the Geye and I Bmlie 
BmThey offer a shAoulder to cGry on 
BmAnytime, I juDst have to cAall 
BmBut little do they know, the rAiver that would Gflow             
If I Glet the firsAt teardrop fall 
Chorus 1 Again
So I Bmlie, GI tell them I’m aDlright

F#mwhat’s the use, what can they do
So BmI look them Astraight in the Geye and I Bmlie 
Bridge
I’ve Emoften wondered what I’d do if I were to, run into you 
Would Bmmy heart fall at your feet, would my foolish pride get the best of me 
GHonestly, AI believe 
Chorus 2:
That I’d lie and tell you I’m alright 
I lie, I’d tell you I’m fine 
I could never ever let you know the truth 
That I’m still in love, and so confused 
So I’d hide my pain deep inside 
Then I’d look you straight in the eye and I’d lie
