Lie About You

          A                          E 
Could you please just put the coffee down? 
              C#m                     B 
It's 2 in the morning and I'm already ready for bed 
A                   E 
Went to turn the TV down 
              C#m                   B 
Hand me the remote, but both of the batteries were dead 
         A      E 
Couldn't make decisions, 
                 C#m     B 
Thought I needed your permission 
   A                          E 
So I don't drink black coffee now 
                  C#m                         B 
Don't know how it didn't taste so bitter back then 



            A                        E 
And if your friends all see it, your boyfriend sees it 
     C#m                       B 
Even your momma sees it, maybe you should believe it 
            A            E                    C#m  B 
And I ain't got no reason to be mistreated at all 



   A                   E 
So why do I, why do I, why do I lie? 
C#m        B 
 Lie about you 
A                   E 
Why do I, why do I, why do I try? 
C#m             B 
 Pretending I'm cool, when I'm not 
       A                     E 
'Cause everyone told me what I couldn't see 
  C#m               B 
I tried to deny you were hurting me 
A                      E 
I know I shouldn't, so why do I lie 
C#m        B 
 Lie about you? 



          A                            E 
Should've seen that all the flags were red 
              C#m                           B 
But in your defense I went and painted them white 
      A                   E 
For a minute never second guessed 
                C#m                            B 
When you put me down so you could pull up your pride 
                A              E 
Guess I learned that I'm worth something 
              C#m      B 
Bet you never saw that coming 
      A                         E 
And I hope someday you'll understand 
                   C#m                       B 
Your problems with me were always your own design 



            A                        E 
And if your friends all see it, your boyfriend sees it 
     C#m                       B 
Even your momma sees it, maybe you should believe it 
            A            E                    C#m  B 
And I ain't got no reason to be mistreated at all, at all

E 
But I wish you did 
           F#m                              C#m 
I tried to be your puppet, wear your golden ring, couldn't make it fit 
    C#m/B     A 
And I played along til I cut the strings 
           E 
I had to relearn almost everything 
                F#m                           C#m 
Bout who I was, who I wanna be, who you never could
