You're Telling Me Sweet Lies Again
Recorded by Jean Shepard
Written by Jack Rhodes and Gertrude Cox
[3/4 time]

G                           D7
I thought any fool could be fooled only once 
                                  G
That a burned child remembers the pain
                             D7
Yet here I am listening with stars in my eyes 
                             G
You're telling me sweet lies again

        C                          G
They're tender and soothing like a kiss to my heart 
  C              G          D7
I know that it's healing in vain
G                                 D7
The wound will be deepened you'll say we must part 
                             G
You're telling me sweet lies again

                             D7
Let some angel or fairy come rescue my heart
                                        G
Wave a wand to change my fate that's so plain
                          D7
I'm lost in a trance or a spell I can't break 
                             G
You're telling me sweet lies again

     C                        G
They sound so familiar like a book read before 
  C             G            D7
I know that the ending's the same
G                        D7
Some magic is holding me spell bound once more 
                             G
You're telling me sweet lies again
