Words and music by hank williams, sr.

[c] I could [g7] say its over [c] now [c7]

That [f] I was glad to see you [c] go

[f] I could hate you for the [c] way Im [am] feelin

My [g7] lips could tell a lie, but my heart would [c] know. [c7]

[f] its a sin to make me [c] cry

[g7] when you know I love you [c] so [c7]

[f] I could tell my heart that [c] I dont [am] miss you

My [g7] lips could tell a lie, but my heart would [c] know.

I could give you all the blame

But Im sure the [bad word] would show

I could tell this world Ive found a new love

My lips could tell a lie, but my heart would know.

I cant fool my cryin heart

cause it knows I need you so

I could tell my heart Im glad we parted

My lips could tell a lie, but my heart would know.
