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.
