. Some lie about who they love
C G
. Some lie about the truth
D Em
. Some lie to save their lives
C B
. Some lie about their youth
Em
. Some lie about age and beauty
C G
. The conquest of sex
D Em
. Most lie about the night before
C B
A woman lies for a party dress
C G
. I've lied for a stolen moment
C G

F Em
. I've lied about most everything
C B
But I never lied to you
G D
And we lie, lie, lie on a streetcar named desire
Em C D
Oh we lie, lie, lie for that sweet bird of youth

. Some kneel and lie to God
C B
. Some lie about their name
Em
