[Verse]
 A
Here you come draggin' in
   A
Three a.m. again
  A
Grinnin' that silly grin
  A
Smellin' just like sin
 D
Holdin' up that alibi that's tissue paper thin
 E
Diggin' down deeper and deeper
         E
In that hole you're already in

[Chorus]
              A            D
If you can't lie no better
              A            D
If you can't lie no better
              A            E
If you can't lie no better than that
     E                       A
You might as well tell the truth

[Verse]
    A
I know you been foolin' around
           A
With some fool from way 'cross town
        A
You're tearin' our good thing down
 A
Makin' me out your clown
 D
Lookin' for excuses that you know can't be found
    E
The more you're lips keep moving
    E
The more you keep losing ground

[Chorus]
              A            D
If you can't lie no better
              A            D
If you can't lie no better
              A
If you can't lie no better than that
     E                       A
You might as well tell the truth

[Bridge]
D
Said you were going with the girl
                    D
From up the street, but I know better
D
She came here looking for you
            D
And told me you never met her
     D
And you could be more discreet
 D
With your love letters
     E
And honey, I smell some other man
     E
All over your Cashmere sweater

[Solo]

[Chorus]
              A            D
If you can't lie no better
              A            D
If you can't lie no better
              A
If you can't lie no better than that
     E                       A
You might as well tell the truth
