I've Lived A Lie

By Ernest Tubb

C                           F    C

The time has come for me to tell you

       G7                   C

That I have been unfaithful dear

                      C7      F

It breaks my heart to do this darling

          C     G7         C

Because I want  you always near

                           F      C

I never meant to break our vowels dear

        G7                C

I never meant to hurt you so

                C7          F

And in my heart I'll always love you

                C     G7       C

Although you'll hate  me now I know

                             F   C

I've live a lie and now I'll pay dear

             G7                C

What ever the prize it's up to you

             C7      F

I can't go and still deceive you

             C    G7          C

I've lived a lie  I've been untrue

                           F        C

It's true we all have made mistakes dear

         G7                       C

And I'll confess with tear dimmed eyes

                        C7        F

I've suffered more than words can tell you

        C        G7           C

And all because  I've lived a lie
