Words and music by hank williams, sr.



[c] i could [g7] say it's over [c] now [c7]

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

[f] i could hate you for the [c] way i'm [am] feelin'

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



[f] it's 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 don't [am] miss you

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



I could give you all the blame

But i'm sure the truth would show

I could tell this world i've found a new love

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



I can't fool my cryin' heart

'cause it knows i need you so

I could tell my heart i'm glad we parted

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