Stan Rogers - Lies

At ^Glast the kids are gone now for the ^Dday She ^Emreaches for the ^Ccoffee as the ^Gschool bus pulls a^Dway An^Gother day to tend the house and ^Dplan For ^EmFriday at the Leg^Cion when she's ^Gdancing with her ^Dman

Sure ^Gwas a bitter winter, but ^DFriday will be fine And ^Emmaybe last year's Easter dres^Ds will ^Cserve her one more time She'd ^Gpass for twenty-nine but for her ^Deyes But ^Amwinter lines are ^Dtelling wicked ^Glies

All^Am li^Bes^C..^D..^C All those ^Glines, they're telling ^Amwicked ^Dlies ^AmLie^Bs.^C...^D Al^Cl lies.... Too ^Gmany lines there in that face Too ^Amany to erase or to disg^Cuise They ^Dmust be telling ^Glies ^{D Am B C D C}

Is th^Gis the face that won for her the ^Dman Whose ^Emamazed and clumsy ^Cfingers put that ^Gring upon her ^Dhand No nee^Gd to search that mirror for the y^Dears The ^Emmenace in their m^Cessage shouts a^Gcross the blur of ^Dtears

So ^Gthis beauty's finish? Like ^DRodin's "Belle Heaulmiere"? The ^Empretty maiden trapped ins^Dide the ran^Cch wife's toil and care Well, ^Gafter seven kids, that's no surpr^Dise But ^Amwhy cannot her mi^Drror tell her l^Gies?

All^Am li^Bes^C..^D..^C All those ^Glines, they're telling ^Amwicked ^Dlies ^AmLie^Bs.^C...^D Al^Cl lies.... Too ^Gmany lines there in that face Too ^Amany to erase or to disg^Cuise They ^Dmust be telling ^Glies ^{D Am B C D C}

Then ^Gshe shakes off the bitter web she ^Dwove 'n t^Emurns to set the m^Cirror gently ^Gface down by the ^Dstove She ^Ggathers up her apron in her ^Dhand ^EmPours a cup of co^Cffee, drips Car^Gnation from the ^Dcan

And th^Ginks ahead to Friday, 'cause ^DFriday will be fine She'll ^Emlook up in that weathered ^Dface that ^Cloves hers line for line To ^Gsee that maiden shining in his ^Deyes And ^Emlaugh at how the ^Dmirror tells her ^Glies

All^Am li^Bes^C..^D..^C All those ^Glines, are telling ^Amwicked ^Dlies ^AmLie^Bs.^C...^D Al^Cl lies.... Too ^Gmany lines there in that face Too ^Amany to erase or to disg^Cuise They ^Dmust be telling ^Amlie^Bs.^C..^D. ^C All those l^Gines, are telling ^Amwicked l^Dies ^AmLie^Bs.^C...^D Al^Cl lies.... Too ^Gmany lines there in that face Too ^Amany to erase or to disg^Cuise They ^Dmust be telling ^Glies ^{D Am B C D C}
