(Entire verse picking pattern)
She woke up, at six a.m.
telling me she^?d been out with friends
^
and I let her lie
^
I let her lie
D(strum upwards) A
she swore I was the only one
and I let her lie
I let her lie
Chorus: (Strum through each chorus)
Cause the truth was too hard to handle, and I couldn^?t bare to lose
that girl. We were that small town scandal, but she was my only world
One teary night, she confessed her sins
but she vowed to never cheat again
and I let her lie
I let her lie
Though she tried lord, she could not change
And I only have myself to blame
Cause I let her lie
I let her lie
Cause the truth was too hard to handle, and I couldn^?t bare to lose
that girl. We were that small town scandal, but she was my only world
The day I left no words were said
She was sound asleep on our double bed
and I let her lie
I let her lie
I let her lie
I let her lie
