[Intro]
Am Am Am Am
[Verse]
Am F C E7
You couldn’t see my hand was on the trigger
Am F
You were so damn busy
C E7
Trying to wrap me round your finger
Am F
I was born lucky, I’m a quick study
C E7
Getting better at it all the time
Am
I call it like I see it
F
Say it when I mean it
C E7
Most of us girls ain’t shy
[Chorus]
Am F C E7
So, I hope she likes the way you lie
Am F
When you break her heart
C E7
When you look her in the eye
Am F
Make up a story, say that you’re sorry
C E7
And you’re not that kind of guy
Am F C E7
I hope she likes the way you lie
[Verse]
Am F C E7
She just might hear some innocence in your voice
Am F C E7
You hide it well when you try to be a good boy
Am F
All of that chatter she might be flattered
C E7
With the words coming out of your mouth
Am F
When the ship starts sinking, don’t call me thinking
C E7
That I’ll be there when it all goes south
[Chorus]
Am F C E7
I hope she likes the way you lie
Am F
When you break her heart
C E7
When you look her in the eye
Am F
Make up a story, say that you’re sorry
C E7
And you’re not that kind of guy
Am F C E7
I hope she likes the way you lie
[Bridge]
Dm Am G
That crooked smile, convincing ways
Dm
When it goes out of style
E7
And she calls me up I’ll say
[Chorus]
E Am F
I hope she likes the way you lie
C E7 Am F C E7
The way you lie
Am F C E7
I hope she likes the way you lie
Am F
When you break her heart
C E7
When you look her in the eye
Am F
Make up a story, say that you’re sorry
C E7
And you’re not that kind of guy
[Outro]
Am F
You make up a story, say that you’re sorry
C E7
And you’re not that kind of guy
Am F C
I hope she likes the way you lie
E7
The way you lie
Am F C
I hope she likes the way you lie
E7
The way you lie
Am F C E7
I hope she likes the way you lie
Am F C E7
I hope she likes the way you lie
