G          A      C              D       G
It's been no fun learning lesson number one

[Verse]
G                    C        Cm       G
Nobody can share my troubles, this I know
                                C       Cm       G
And let me tell you I learned a lesson, here I go

[Chorus]
            A                                   C       G
Don't you know (oh no) it's just as sure as the rising sun
             A                               C       D     G
Don't you know (oh no) to tell the truth is lesson number one

[Verse]
G                              C          Cm       G
I look around the room and know the hotel in one glance
                                     C            Cm       G
And it seems that I've arrived at a battleground just by chance

[Chorus]
                 A                             C     G
Clothes thrown everywhere mirrors broken and damage done
         A                           C     D       G
And I'm all alone thinkin' back on lesson number one

[Bridge]
                  F#m         Bm
I remember being told to be careful
       G               D
That telling even one lie
              F#m          Bm
Would surely lead to more problems
   G            A
Of alarming dimensions
    C                  D
I wish I had paid attention

[Solo]
G      C   Cm   G
G      C   Cm   G

[Chorus]
                 A                             C     G
Clothes thrown everywhere mirrors broken and damage done
         A                           C     D       G
And I'm all alone thinkin' back on lesson number one


[Verse]
   G                         C    Cm    G
To lie to your lover is a sorry losing game
    G               C    Cm    G
To lie is a violation and a shame

[Chorus]
           A                                     C     G
Don't you know (oh no) it's just as sure as the rising sun
           A                                 C      D       G
Don't you know (oh no) to tell the truth is lesson number one
           A                                     C      G
Don't you know (oh no) it's just as sure as the rising sun
           A                                     C      D     G
Don't you know (oh no) to tell the truth that's lesson number one
           A                                     C      G
Don't you know (oh no) it's just as sure as the rising sun
           A                                C       D      G
Don't you know (oh no) to tell the truth is lesson number one
