♫ Verse 1:
         G+G                     Cadd9Cadd9
Well, I've been swinging through these swinging doors for, aww
          D MajorD  G+G            Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
Going on probably about 9 years now, maybe even 10
   G+G                     Cadd9Cadd9          D MajorD
And I watch old Joe at the end of the bar with another hot woman on his one good arm
     G+G                 Cadd9Cadd9     D MajorD G+G Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
And they walk out for a while and he comes back in smiling, again


♫ Verse 2:
   G+G              Cadd9Cadd9          D MajorD
So I finally had to ask old Joe, "Man, what's your secret to success
G+G                Cadd9Cadd9   D MajorD
Your power of persuasion over the opposite sex"
       G+G                Cadd9Cadd9
And he says, "Son, well, honestly, it's pretty simple
  D MajorD            G+G            Cadd9Cadd9   D MajorD     G+G  Cadd9Cadd9
He said, "I just kinda walk up and buy her drink and open up my mouth and lie"

♫ Pre-Chorus:
 D MajorD       G+G
I tell her I'm a movie star
Cadd9Cadd9    D MajorD      G+G
 I just flew into town to buy this bar
Cadd9Cadd9   D MajorD   G+G         Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
 I'm only here tonight, that's right
    G+G        Cadd9Cadd9    D MajorD       G+G
I gotta go, yeah, we're filming on location down in Mexico
Cadd9Cadd9       D MajorD       G+G
 Would you believe that I got the leading role?
       Cadd9Cadd9     D MajorD            G+G          Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
That's right, honey, I beat out a lot of folks that you'd probably know"


♫ Chorus:
   G+G       Cadd9Cadd9         D MajorD
Oh, a man has got to do what a man's gotta do
G+G      Cadd9Cadd9             D MajorD
Anything it takes to make her think you're cool
      Cadd9Cadd9        D MajorD
Ah, you got nothing to lose, so go on and try
   G+G         Cadd9Cadd9             D MajorD D7D7
Just walk right up and smile and look her dead in the eye
  G+G Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
And lie
       G+G Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
That's right lie

♫ Verse 3:
   G+G                    Cadd9Cadd9       D MajorD     G+G        Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
So I tried and tried a couple weekends and it was like strike 1, strike 2, strike out again
   G+G
But I narrowed it down, and I scratched it out
   Cadd9Cadd9             D MajorD       G+G
And I came up with something that without a doubt I knew
           Cadd9Cadd9       D MajorD
I was gonna make old Joe proud and I go up and I'd say


♫ Pre-Chorus:
G+G Cadd9Cadd9     D MajorD       G+G
Hi Honey, whatcha doing for the rest of your life
Cadd9Cadd9   D MajorD       G+G
 I've been waiting such a long, long time
       Cadd9Cadd9
And you know what honey?
    D MajorD     G+G               Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
Meeting you here, man, it just really feels like fate
  G+G  Cadd9Cadd9     D MajorD      G+G
Oh I, I bet you didn't see me as a marrying type
Cadd9Cadd9      D MajorD        G+G           Cadd9Cadd9
 Let's take it slow I don't just want one night, oh no darling
           D MajorD           G+G
If you're looking for that you might as well look somewhere else
       Cadd9Cadd9           D MajorD
Well, because I'm just not that kind of guy
  G+G
And kids, oh I love kids
Cadd9Cadd9   D MajorD      G+G
 Dogs, in-laws, and a piece of land
Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD       G+G
 Dirty diapers in my mini van
  Cadd9Cadd9   D MajorD     G+G Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
Aw man, I can hardly wait


♫ Chorus:
   G+G       Cadd9Cadd9         D MajorD
Oh, a man has got to do what a man's gotta do
G+G      Cadd9Cadd9             D MajorD
Anything it takes to make her think you're cool
      Cadd9Cadd9        D MajorD
Ah, you got nothing to lose, so go on and try
   G+G         Cadd9Cadd9             D MajorD D7D7
Just walk right up and smile and look her dead in the eye


♫ Outro:
  G+G
And lie
Cadd9Cadd9     D MajorD     G+G
 That's right, you gotta lie
Cadd9Cadd9   D MajorD     G+G
 Sometimes you gotta lie
