[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Out of the west come a curious fool
He [D]tried to impress me with his furious cool
He [C]lied from the start
I knew just what [G]he was trying.

[Verse 2]
[G]He lied to his mother
And lied to the rest
He [D]lied to his brother
Who loved [C]him the best
I believe he lies to [G]my [Gm]children.

[Verse 3]
Ah, [Bb]half [Gm]the lies he tell[D]s you,
[G]they're not true
I say [Gm]that half the lies he [G]tells
you, they're not true
I know [Gm]half the lies he tells you,
[G]they're not true
They never could be
[Gm]Half the lies he tell[G]s

[Verse 4]
you, they're not true.
[G]You may come to the white house
[D]You walk through the white door
You come [C]to the corridor
of power
You might slip [Gm]on the white house floor.
[G]You come to

[Verse 5]
the wrong,
to to the [D]wrong floor
You come and see [C]the wrong
people
You knocked on the [G]wrong door

[Verse 6]
[G]Watching a person
Watching a thief
[D]Watching a lover
Watching a leaf
You could watch [C]what you want,
when you will

[Verse 7]
You can't watch a liar.
[G]You lied to your friend
You lied to you now
[D]Some lies, [C]somehow

[Verse 8]
I believe he lies to my children.
[G]Oh, half the lie[Gm]s
he tells you, they're [Bb]not true
I know half the lies he tell[Gm]s
you, they're [G]not true
[Gm]They never could be
Half the lies he tell[G]s you,
they're not true.
[Gm]They never ever will be
Half the lies he tells you, they're not true

[Verse 9]
You [G]may come to the white house
You walk through the white
door
You might step on the
corridor of power
You might [Gm]slip on the white
house floor.
You come [G]to the wrong, du du the wrong floor

[Verse 10]
[G]
You come and see the wrong
people
