[Intro]
D Am/D D G6 G
D Bm A D
[Verse 1]
D
I told you the day we met
G
That I'd never make you regret
D Em Em/A
Choosing me to stand by your side
D D/F#
And I swear I had an honest plan
G
To make myself an honest man
D A D D7
But the ones best-laid often go awry
[Chorus]
G
And I know good and well
A
That I'm goin' straight to hell
D D/E D/F# G
For all the things I put you through
D
Yes, my biggest regret in life
A
The thing that keeps me up at night
G A D
The day I learned how to lie to you
[Verse 2]
D
I've long set fire to things I love
G
Told myself I don't deserve
D Em Em/A
To ever have and hold that kind of glory
D
But I'll come back in a couple days
G
To search the ash and memory
D A D D7
And start paintin' my side of the story
[Chorus]
G
And I know good and well
A
That I'm goin' straight to hell
D D/E D/F# G
For all the things I put you through
D
Yes, my biggest regret in life
A
The thing that keeps me up at night
G A D
The day I learned how to lie to you

Bm G D
Bm Em A D
[Verse 3]
D
For the lies, they started short and small
G
But then they grew up big and tall
Bm Em Em/A
Like that old oak tree out in our front yard
D D/E D/F#
And without warning, late last May
G
A branch, it snapped and then gave way
D A G
It tumbled down and tore our home apart
Bm A G
Yeah, it tumbled down and tore right through your heart
[Outro Chorus]
G D
And I lied when I told you I was different
G A
And I lied when I told you I could change
D C
Now I'm stuck in Kansas City
G
Wishing I could go back to
D A G
The day I learned how to lie to you
D A Bm
Oh, the day I learned how to lie to you
G A Em D/F# A D
Ah, the day I learned how to lie to you
