G      C         D7       G 
Just a few of my favorite lies 

         C          G 
Lately I don't even miss her 
         C           D7           G 
Yes it's true out of sight out of mind 
                     G7         C 
All my love of yesterday it has faded away 
       G                          D7 
I'd be lonely if I could find the time 

           G        C             G 
Helped her open the door when she left me 
      C             D7           G 
All I said was good luck and goodbye 
                 G7          C 
Now at last I am free like I wanted to be 
            G         D7       G 
These are a few of my favorite lies 

    C                           G 
I'm surprised I'm still talking about her 
                             D7 
For I can stop anytime and I will 
       C                       G 
But if you feel like asking me questions 
                              D7 
I have more lies I'm dying to tell 

        G             C             G 
There's no room in my heart now for sadness 
     C          D7            G 
I've completely forgot how to cry 
                 G7            C 
If she came back today I would turn her away 
            G         D7       G 
These are a few of my favorite lies 
       C         D7       C    G 
Just a few of my favorite l--ies
