C 
You lied to me  
     Am         G      C 
on a stranger’s bed in Tennessee 
         Am                 G          C 
When you swore to God you’d never give up on me 
    Am          G             C 
You promised me you were the one 
    Am          G            C 
You swore to me you were the one 

C 
And I fell for you 
Am               G       C 
Hook line and sinker I fell for you 
             Am       G          C 
I would have done anything you wanted me to 
Am                 G           C 
Because I thought you were the one 
             Am         G            C 
Because you swore that you were the one 



Em 
Did you lie to me 
G  
when you told me  
     F 
that I was  
      C    G 
your only one 
Am 
and Did you lie to me 
             G                  F 
when you whispered the words I Love You 
    C   G 
I Love You 



        C 
I wont forget that day 
    Am          G              C 
The whole city burned in the month of May 
    Am             G                C 
We talked till we didn’t have that much to say 
       Am         G             C 
Your tongue was twisted by the beer 
       Am         G               C 
Your tongue said lets get out of here 



           C 
So I made love to you 
        Am            G           C 
On the floor of that room I made love to you 
        Am           G              C 
Now my heart don’t work the way it use to 
Am         G            C 
Back when you were the one 
Am              G                 C 
Back when you swore you were the one 



Em 
Did you lie to me 
G 
when you told me  
F 
that I was your  
C     G 
only one 
Am 
and Did you lie to me 
            G                    F 
when you whispered the words I Love You 
   C   G 
I Love You 


          C 
Well I’m lying here 
            Am                   G                C 
And like a knife the sun cuts through the morning air 
    Am       G                 C 
I reach for you but your not there 
Am            G          C 
So much can change in a year 
Am           G            C 
So much has changed in a year
