E
  When something in my history is found
A                       F#                    Bm
  Which contradicts the views that I propound
    G          F#    G      F#                        E7*
 Or shows that I perhaps am not the guy I claim to be
                          A
 Here's what I usually do


[Chorus]

        D
  I lie
F#                    Bm
  I simply boldly falsify
     F#                             Bm
  I look the other feller in the eye
            G    F#    G     A
  And just deny, deny, deny
        D
  I lie

[Verse 2]
                                     E
  I don t apologize. Not me. Instead
A               F#                 Bm
  I say I never said the things I said
       G        F#          G           F#
  Nor did the things some people saw me do
       E                    E7                     A
  When confronted by some things they know are true


[Chorus]

        D
  I lie
F#                    Bm
  I simply boldly falsify
     F#                             Bm
  I look the other feller in the eye
            G    F#    G    A
  And just deny, deny, deny
        D
  I lie


[Verse 3]
                                              E
  I hate those weasel words some slickies use
      A          F#                        Bm
  To blur their past or muddy up their views
        G       F#         G                  F#
  Not me. I'm blunt. One thing that makes me great
           E                       A
  Is that I'll never dodge nor obfuscate


[Chorus]

         D
  I lie
F#                    Bm
  I simply boldly falsify
     F#                             Bm
  I look the other feller in the eye
            G    F#    G    A
  And just deny, deny, deny
        D
  I lie
