Cheating Is
View chords used in this chart
C
Cheating is a thing that starts when you bring
F
Two lonely people face to face with a brand new kiss
G7
She blames him he blames her
C
But neither one is ever quite sure which way it really is
F
And all of the time in the back of their minds
C
They know they're gonna have to lie bout where they've been
Cheating is a thing that'll take a little ring
G7 C
And break it into pieces that'll never go together again
Cheating is the part of loving that starts
F
When true love isn't what lovers are looking for
G7
A stranger here a stranger there then you turn around and swear
C
That you'll never go back for more
F
And lying at night when you're holding him tight
C
Is sometimes that a cheater's heart just has to learn
Cheating is a thing that's guaranteed to bring
G7 C
Two unhappy people to the point of no return
F
The worst of cheating is the sad little kids
C
Hanging in the middle while mommy and daddy choose
Cheating is a game where nobody wins
G7 C
And the ones that aren't big enough to play are the ones who lose
