verse 1 

C 
It's midnight and I give up 
                            Em/D 
I'm tired of lying to you 
Am                                                C 
   I will not hold your hand and pretend I'm your lover 

You must admit the turn outs 
                                 Em/D 
Have all been less than a grand 
Am                                       C 
   There's no more police escorts or the high school welcome bands 

 

F              C 
  I'm no lie detector 
F             C               Em/D         Am 
  He's no bullshit talker and we both know who knows 
     F         C                Em/D Am 
What should be known to all the   authors 

verse 2 

            C 
Now they've put away the kissing booths 
                              Em/D 
The Chapstick gossip's truth 
Am                                              C 
   The only donkey they'll be riding boy is the one wearing your shoes 



F              C 
  I'm no lie detector 
F             C               Em/D         Am 
  He's no bullshit talker and we both know who knows 
     F         C                Em/D Am 
What should be known to all the   authors 

Bridge 

F                              C             Em/D 
  I don't care if I'm the only one who's not payin 
F                             C            G 
  Cos honey I am done staying up all night waitin 

verse 3 

C                                                     Em/D 
  Now we're all tying the ribbons of worry to your tree 
Am                                                 C 
    Your passing will make the headlines but sadly no one will read 
                                                      Em/D 
the towns hopeless romantic had his heart on his sleeve 
Am                               C 
   Died alone in a car park of a local library 



F              C 
  I'm no lie detector 
F             C               Em/D         Am 
  He's no bullshit talker and we both know who knows 
     F         C                Em/D Am
