Lyrics
(Bb)How could you believe me when I said I love you when you (Gm7)know I've (C7)been a (Gm7)liar (C7)all my life?
I've (F7)had that (Bdim7)(F7)reputtion since I was (Bdim7)a (F9)youth.
You (Bb)must have been (D7)insane to (G7)think I'd (C7)tell you the (F9)truth.
(Bb)How could you believe me when I said we'd marry when you (Gm7)know I'd (C7)rather (Gm7)hang than (C7)have a wife?
I (Bb)know I said
I'd (Am7)make you (D7)mine,
but (Gm)who would know that you would go for (Dm)that (A7)old (F7)line.
(Bb)How could you believe me when I (Gm7)said I (C7)love you,
when you (Bb)know I've been a liar,
(Gb9)nothing but a liar,
(Gb9)all my (C9)doggone (F7)cheatin' (Bb)life?
(Bb7)You (Eb)said you would (Bb7)love me long,
(Eb)and never would (Bbm7)do me wrong.
(Eb7)And (Ab)faithful you'd always be,
(Abm)oh, (Eb)baby, you must be (C7)loony to trust a (Fm7)lower than low (Bb7)twotimer like me.
(Eb)You said I'd have (Bb7)ev'rything,
(Eb)a beautiful (Bbm7)diamond ring,
(Eb7)a (Ab)bungalow by the sea.
(Abm)You're (Eb)really naive to (C7)ever believe a (Fm7)full of balloney (Bb7)phoney like me.
(F7)Say! (C7)no good, (Cm7)good for (F7)nothin' (Bb)life.
