A
Cheat'n is a thing that starts when you bring two lonely
A7 D E
people face to face with a brand new kiss. She blames him and

way it is. And all of the time in the back of their mind
E A
they know they're gonna have to lie about where they been.

Cheat'n is a thing that takes a little ring and breaks it
A E
into pieces that'll never go together again.

And lying at night when you're hold'n them tight, there's

something that a cheaters heart is bound to learn.

people to the point of no return.
