Telling Me Lies Emmylou Harris
[B]They say a woman's a fool for weeping
A fool to break her own heart
[F#]But I can't hold the secret I'm keeping
[E]I'm breaking a[B]part
[B]Can't seem to mind my own business
Whatever I try turns out wrong
[F#]I seem like my own false witness
And [E]I can't go [B]on
[D]I cover my ears, I close my [Bm]eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me [B]lie[Bsus]s [B]
Telling me lies
[B]You told me you needed my company
And I believed in your flattering ways
[F#]You told me you needed me forever
Nearly [E]gave you the rest of my [B]days
[B]Should've seen you for what you are
Should never have come back for more
[F#]Should've locked up all my silver
Brought the [E]key back to your d[B]oor
[D]I cover my ears, I close my [Bm]eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me [B]lies[Bsus] [B]
Telling me lies
[B]You don't know what a chance is
Until you have to seize one
[F#]You don't know what a man is
[E]Until you have to please [B]one
[B]Don't put your life in the hands of a man
[B]With a face for every season
[F#]Don't waste your time in the arms of a man
Who's no [E]stranger to [B]treason
[D]I cover my ears, I close my [Bm]eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me [B]lies[Bsus] [B]
Telling me lies
[B]I cover my ears, I close my eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Telling me lies
