Verse 1

A
Cheat'n is a thing that starts when you bring two lonely
                           A7        D     E
people face to face with a brand new kiss. She blames him and

he blames her and neither one is really quite sure which
E7     A    D
way it is. And all of the time in the back of their mind
                                          E          A
they know they're gonna have to lie about where they been.
                                                E
Cheat'n is a thing that takes a little ring and breaks it
                                      A      E
into pieces that'll never go together again.


Verse 2

A
Cheat'n is a part of love in the start when true love isn't
     A7                D      E
what lovers are look'n for. A stranger here, a stranger there
                                          E7       A
You swear every time that you'll never go back for more.
    D
And lying at night when you're hold'n them tight, there's
                                   E         A
something that a cheaters heart is bound to learn.
                                                 E
Cheat'n is a thing that's guaranteed to bring two unhappy
                       E7 A
people to the point of no return.

E  Bm  E   A


Verse 3

        D
And the worse that cheat'n gets is sad little kids hanging
                              E     A
in the middle while mommy and daddy choose.
                                            E
Cheat'n is a game where nobody wins and the ones that aren't
                                    A
big enough to play are the ones who loose.
                                            E
Cheat'n is a game where nobody wins and the ones that aren't
                                    A      E  A  E  A
big enough to play are the ones who loose.
