You're Telling Me Sweet Lies Again
Recorded by Jean Shepard
Written by Jack Rhodes and Gertrude Cox
[3/4 time]
G D7
I thought any fool could be fooled only once
G
That a burned child remembers the pain
D7
Yet here I am listening with stars in my eyes
G
You're telling me sweet lies again
C G
They're tender and soothing like a kiss to my heart
C G D7
I know that it's healing in vain
G D7
The wound will be deepened you'll say we must part
G
You're telling me sweet lies again
D7
Let some angel or fairy come rescue my heart
G
Wave a wand to change my fate that's so plain
D7
I'm lost in a trance or a spell I can't break
G
You're telling me sweet lies again
C G
They sound so familiar like a book read before
C G D7
I know that the ending's the same
G D7
Some magic is holding me spell bound once more
G
You're telling me sweet lies again
