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.
