D                A 
She'd come home, at six a.m.

D                     A 
And in the glare of the morning sun 
Bm                     G 
she swore I was the only one

I let her lie 

  
A                   Bm                       G         D       A 
Cause the truth was too hard to handle, and I couldn't bare to lose 
     D      A             Bm                   G   D       G     A 
that girl.  We were that small town scandal, but she was my only world 


    D                 A 
One teary night, she confessed her sins 
Bm                           G 
but she vowed to never cheat again 
              D

I let her lie 


D                                   A 
Though she tried lord, she could not change 
      Bm                   G 
And I only have myself to blame 
                D 
Cause I let her lie 
          D   D4   D   D4 
I let her lie 


A                   Bm                       G      D       A 
Cause the truth was too hard to handle, and I couldn't bare to lose 
     D      A             Bm                   G   D       G     A 
that girl.  We were that small town scandal, but she was my only world 


    D             A 
The day I left no words were said 
        Bm                  G 
She was sound asleep on our double bed 

             D    A G 
and I let her lie 
          D    A G 
I let her lie 
          D    A G 
I let her lie 
          D 
I let her lie
