[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D                D
People gonna talk
                             A         A
but you can talk to me about   it (mm).
    D                      D
You don't know who you are,
                            A        A
no, not like the way I know   ya.

[Pre-Chorus]
                        D
We would rather trade a good word from a good friend
                 D
for a white lie,   from people we don’t even like
          A
when they pretend that they mean it, darlin'.

[Chorus 1]
N.C.                           D    D    A
Don't believe a word that they say, say, hmm,
       A                       D    D    A
’cause people don't mean it anyway, way, anyway.
N.C.
Don't believe, don't-don't believe,

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
D
  I know your heart’s been achin’
N.C.
but darlin' mine’s yours for thе takin'.
A
  I know it's hard to say it but
A
your eyes tell me everything I need to
D
know. Don't let them into your head,
D
  I hate to see you face turn red.
          A
When your tears turn to a waterfall you can fall in my
A
arms and I’ll catch them all.

[Pre-Chorus]
                        D
We would rather trade a good word from a good friend
                 D
for a white lie.   From people we don't even like
          A
when they pretend that they mean it, darlin'.

[End-Chorus]
N.C.                           D    D    A
Don't believe a word that they say, say,   hmm,
       A                       D    D    A
'cause people don't mean it anyway, way,   anyway.
A
Don't believe, don't, don't believe.
