[Intro]
None
[Verse 1]
G Am7
I talked to my brother just the other day
D
Said he saw he with some guy out on
G D
The interstate in a Chevrolet
G Am7
He ain’t the kind to go and make some story up
D
So, it must have been a girl that looks
G
Just like she does in that truck
[Chorus]
G Am7
She says she’s in Mexico with a few of her girlfriends
D G
Then they headed up to Dallas for a long weekend
G
The last time that I talked to her
Am7
Said she just needed time
C D
So tonight, I’m getting by-I-I-I-I-I
G G
Three chords and a lie
[Verse 2]
G
A couple buddies said they saw her
Am7
Hanging on some ones arm
D
Next town over, they weren’t sober
G D
And it’s always dark in that smoky bar
G
I’d sure like to meet this girl
Am7
That looks like mine
D
Until I do all the rest of you
G D
Can let the rumor’s fly, yeah I’ll be fine
[Chorus]
G Am7
She says she’s in Mexico with a few of her girlfriends
D G
Then they headed up to Dallas for a long weekend
G
The last time that I talked to her
Am7
Said she just needed time
C D
So tonight, I’m getting by-I-I-I-I-I
G
Three chords and a lie
[Solo]

[Bridge]
G
Pickin up this old six string
Am7
Playin it straight from the heart
Em
And if everybody knows the truth but me
C
I still want to believe . . . .man
[Chorus]
G Am7
She’s just down in Mexico with a few of her girlfriends
D G
Then they headed up to Dallas for a long weekend
G
The last time that I talked to her
Am7
Said she just needed time
C D
So tonight, I’m getting by-I-I-I-I-I

Three chords and a lie
