C         Am      C      Am     C       Am                         
How could you believe me when I said I Love You 
             D7        Am7    D7   Am7     D7 
When you know I've been a liar all my life 
     G7      Gdim  G7        Gdim      G7          
I've had that reputation since I was a youth 
     C         C/B    Am7      Am7/G    D7   Dm7       G7 
You must have been insane to think I'd ever tell the truth 
C         Am      C       Am     C        Am                      
How could you believe me when I said we'd marry 
          D7        Am7    D7           Am7     D7 
When you know I'd rather die than that have a wife 
C              Bm5-/7          E7                
I know I said, "I'll make you mine" 
      Am        Am7+      Am7      Am6      Em  B7   G7 
But who would know that you would go for that old line 
C         Am      C      Am     D7         
How could you believe me when I said "I Love You" 
          C         Am    C       Fm                D7                       
When you know I've been a liar, a good for nothing liar 
          C   Am  Dm7    G7   C 
All my good for nothin' life
