Cheating is a thing that starts when you bring 

                                                F 
Two lonely people face to face with a brand new kiss 

G7 
She blames him he blames her 

                                                       C 
But neither one is ever quite sure which way it really is 


    F 
And all of the time in the back of their minds 

                                                       C 
They know they're gonna have to lie bout where they've been 


Cheating is a thing that'll take a little ring 

    G7                                             C 
And break it into pieces that'll never go together again 



Cheating is the part of loving that starts 

                                             F 
When true love isn't what lovers are looking for 

G7 
A stranger here a stranger there then you turn around and swear 

                              C 
That you'll never go back for more 


    F 
And lying at night when you're holding him tight 

                                                C 
Is sometimes that a cheater's heart just has to learn 


Cheating is a thing that's guaranteed to bring 

    G7                                C 
Two unhappy people to the point of no return 


    F 
The worst of cheating is the sad little kids 

                                            C 
Hanging in the middle while mommy and daddy choose 


Cheating is a game where nobody wins 

        G7                                                   C 
And the ones that aren't big enough to play are the ones who lose
