He says he’s your Amfriend
But you don't Gsee him
He E7says he's so damn Bm7-5/Fbusy but Ghe don't do G/Anothin' at Amall
So you get him on the Amphone, he was just gonna to Gcall you
Says he was E7thinking about old Bm7-5/Ftimes
And Glookin' at your G/Apicture on the Amwall
He's stringin' you the C/Dsame old Em7lines
He G/Aputs everyone Amthrough
They're C/Donly  Em7lies, in Bm7-5/Ftentions just won't Fmaj7do
For the Ctime he feels no Fmaj7wrong
Til he Am/Efinds out we've caught E7on
He's stringin' a G/Aline    Amline
He's stringin' a G/Aline     Amline
So you try to for Amget
But that ain't so Geasy
If E7you've got one small Bm7-5/Fdoubt, that there was G/Aever  Amanything there
So you dangle on a Amline, a captive Gfool
You E7know you'll try ag Bm7-5/Fain
But it'll Gjust be the G/Asame as last Amtime
He's stringin' you the C/Dsame old Em7lines
He G/Aputs everyone Amthrough
They're C/Donly  Em7lies, in  Bm7-5/Ftentions just won't Fmaj7do
For the Ctime he feels no Fmaj7wrong
Til he Am/Efinds out we've caught E7on
He's stringin' a G/AlineAm  
He's stringin' you the C/Dsame old Em7lines
He G/Aputs everyone Amthrough
They're C/Donly  Em7lies, in  Bm7-5/Ftentions just won't Fmaj7do

Til he Am/Efinds out we've caught E7on
He's stringin' a G/Aline   Amline
He's stringin' a G/Aline   Amline
He's stringin' a G/Aline   Amline
