♫ Intro:

Am  G/B  C  F  G

♫ Verse 1:
G        Am      G/B        C
Mama, I lied when I was sixteen
                         F
I said the bottle ain't mine
                    G
And I never smoke weed
               Am
Now I've grown up
       G/B               C
You'd think things have changed
                  F
Hurts me just as much
                    G
To say they're the same

♫ Chorus:
G        Am
Mama, I lied
                 G
He ain't a good guy
             F            C/B         G
He makes me cry sometimes out of the blue
             Am                    G
I'm not sure why it took all this time
        F             C/B         G
I was afraid of what you'd say to do
         Dm                 C/B            F
Guess I wasn't ready yet to hear the hard truth
    G       Am    G/B  C  F  G
So mama, I lied

♫ Verse 2:
G             Am        G/B           C
I'd wipe the tears as quick as they'd fall
                  F                          G
Say everything's fine every time that you'd call
                   Am
And I'd swear he's perfect
       G/B           C
Hoping you couldn't tell
                    F
He was stealing my spark
                            G
Walking me straight through hell

♫ Chorus:
G        Am
Mama, I lied
                 G
He ain't a good guy
             F            C/B         G
He makes me cry sometimes out of the blue
             Am                    G
I'm not sure why it took all this time
        F             C/B         G
I was afraid of what you'd say to do
         Dm                 C/B            F
Guess I wasn't ready yet to hear the hard truth
    G       Am    G/B  C  F  G
So mama, I lied

♫ Bridge:
G          Am                      G              C
You said, when somebody shows you who they really are
             F          G
You better believe 'em
G     Am                  G/B                   C
So I painted him the only way I thought you and I
             F        G
Would wanna see him

♫ Chorus:
G        Am
Mama, I lied
                 G
He ain't a good guy
             F            C/B         G
He makes me cry sometimes out of the blue
             Am                    G
I'm not sure why it took all this time
        F             C/B         G
I was afraid of what you'd say to do
         Dm                 C/B            F
Guess I wasn't ready yet to hear the hard truth
G       Dm                     C/B         F
But I can't hide it anymore, I really need you
G        Am    G   C   F   G
Mama, I lied
G        Am    G   C   F   G       Am
Mama, I lied
