So time flew right by me and while I...

[Chorus]

When you didn't call you found that you where wrong

C B

I know you thought your life was goin be easy

You thought you had it all but you found that you were wrong

C B

See maybe there was something wrong

D A

And you weren't telling me no

C B

See maybe the laugh's on me

D A

And life was telling me a joke

E G

If something's yours and you let it go

When I let you go along with those lies from you

I wonder what else lies in you

Or did the lies just eat gone
