Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Maybelline, why can't you be true?

[Verse 2]
Oh, Maybel[C]line,
why [G]can't you be true?
[D]You don't

[Verse 3]
start back
doing the things you used [G]to do.

[Verse 4]
As [G]I was a -[Gm]motivatin' over the hill,
[G]I saw Maybelline in a coupe de ville.

[Verse 5]
[G]Cadillac a [Gm]-rollin' on a [G]open road,
nothin' outrun my V8 Ford.

[Verse 6]
[G]Cadillac a -doin' about 95,
we were bumpin' a bumper,
rollin' side to side.

[Verse 7]
Oh, why can't you be [G]true
Oh, [C]Madeline, why can't you be [G]true
[D]You don't start back
doing the things you used
[G]to do[C]
[G][D][G]
Cadillac pulled [Gm]up to a hundred and four
The Ford got hot, couldn't do no more
Dun got cloudy and started [G]to rain,
I tooted my horn for a pass of lane
There ain't water [Gm]run
nin' all under my hood,
[G]I knew that was doin'
my motor good
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh, May[C]belline,
why [G]can't you be true?
[D]You done started back
doin' the things you used
[G]to do[C]
[G][D][G]
The motor cooled down,
the [Gm]heating went down,
and [G]that's when I heard that
highway sound.
Cadillac sit[Gm]ting like a ton of lead,
[G]a hundred and ten a half
a mile ahead.
Cadillac looked like it's sitting still,
I caught Maybelline at the
top of the hill.
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh, May[C]belline, why [G]can't you be true?
It doesn't [D]start back
to the things you used [G]to do.[C][G][D][G]
Oh, Magdalene, why can't you be true
Oh, Mag[C]dalene, why [G]can't you be true
[D]You don't start back
on the things you used to [G]do
