♫ 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
