Intro - G – D – G – D x2 

G 

Yesterday you told me you went shopping with your sister 

G 

That sounded kinda fishy cause the day before you dissed her 

C 

I know you might be thinkin that I don’t know all the facts 

                   D 

But you’ll need to lie better, lie better than that 

 

The week before you said that you were at the movie theater 

And when you got home late you said it was a double feature 

I know you might be thinkin that I don’t know where you’re at 

But you’ll need to lie better, lie better than that 

 

CHORUS 

C 

You’ll need to lie better, lie better than that 

          G 

You’ve been bobbing and a twisting like a circus acrobat 

           C 

With the stunts that you’ve been pulling you might think the world is flat 

           D 

But you’ll need to lie better, lie better than that 

 

     2nd VERSE 

The stories you’ve been telling me are laughable and foolish 

I can’t believe a word of it or who you’re going out with 

I know you may be thinkin that it’s only tit for tat 

But you’ll need to lie better, lie better than that 

 

    CHORUS 

You’ll need to lie better, lie better than that 

You’ve been bobbing and a twisting like a circus acrobat 

With the stunts that’s you’ve been pulling, 

you might think the world is flat 

But you’ll need to lie better, lie better than that 

 

BRIDGE 

C                                                 G            

If you want to see me – just tell me the truth 

C                                        D 

I just got to know how you feel 

C                                                         D              G 

Don’t tell me fibs and fairytales or make up this or that 

C                                       D 

I just need to know what is real 

 

       INSTUMENTAL – G-D-G-D  x2 

    3rd VERSE 

Baby can’t you see that you’ve been crazy hard to deal with 

Funny how you turned into a crafty little wordsmith. 

I know you may be thinkin I believe that chit and chat 

But you’ll need to lie better, lie better than that 

   CHORUS 

You’ll need to lie better, lie better than that 

You’ve been bobbing and a twisting like a circus acrobat 

With the stunts that you’ve been pulling you might think the world is flat 

But you’ll need to lie better, lie better than that 

   Repeat CHORUS 

You’ll need to lie better, lie better than that 

You’ve been bobbing and a twisting like a circus acrobat 

With the stunts that you’ve been pulling you might think the world is flat 

But you’ll need to lie better, lie better than that
