Intro:

|Em7| - |D#+| - |G/D| - |C#dim7| - |C7| - |B7|


Em7          D#+
  And when I woke up
  G/D                   C#dim7
I thought that she'd be gone
        C7             B7
But she tied me to the bedpost
       C7               B7
Put my stuff out on the lawn
Em7            D#+
  She said she knew of
     G/D             C#dim7
of a love that never dies
       C               B7    Em   C  B7
She discovered how her lover lies


She stood there silent
With anger in her eyes
In the past she never guessed it
But she finally realized
She thought she knew me
It should come as no surprise
She discovered how a lover lies

Am7                            Em7
I ran around with Lucy Brown a time or two 
    Am7                         Em7
Not long ago I did not know she knew
Am7            
She made her acquaintance
C                     Em7            G    C7   B7
  Now her patience is finally through

|Em7| - |D#+| - |G/D| - |C#dim7| - |C| - |B7/Eb|

She says I'm just like
All the other guys
and she thinks that it's no wonder
that divorce is on the rise 
But there's one thing
I cannot compromise
When I discover how my lover lies


Now night is falling
thoughts runnin' through my head
of shuttin' my eyes sober
and wakin' them up dead
They'd have a suspect
she'd say she's justified 
'Cause she discovered how her lover lies


She found a crime
She'd wish they'd legalize
When she discovered how her lover lies
