   We took the forty down to

F
   Like I was a talented liar
A#
   Turns out that all my friends were
D            F
   Trying to do me a favor


A#
   I always wanna tell the truth
F
   But it never seems like the right time
A#
   To be serious enough
D                F
   I'm sorry I'm making myself cry
