C5         A5      C5      A5     C5       A5
How could you believe me when I said "I Love You"
         D5        A5    D5   A5     D5
When you know I've been a liar all my life?
     G5      G5  G5        G5      G5
I've had that reputation since I was a youth --
    C5         C5    A5      A5    D5   D5       G5
You must have been insane to think I'd ever tell the truth.
C5         A5      C5       A5     C5        A5
How could you believe me when I said we'd marry,
         D5        A5    D5           A5     D5
When you know I'd rather die than that have a wife?
C5              B5          E5
I know I said, "I'll make you mine,"
    A5        A5      A5      A5      E5  B5   G5
But who would know that you would go for that old line?
C5         A5      C5      A5     D5        
How could you believe me when I said "I Love You"
          C5         A5    C5       F5                D5     
When you know I've been a liar, a good for nothing liar,
        C5   A5  D5    G5   C5
All my good for noth - in' life?
