(verse 1)
(Dmaj) (Amaj) (Gmaj)
You don’t bring me flowers
(Dmaj)
You don’t sing me love songs
(Gmaj) (Dmaj)
You hardly talk to me anymore
(Gmaj) (Emin)
When you come thru the door
(Dmaj) (Amaj)
At the end of the day
I remember when

(Dmaj) (Amaj) (Gmaj)
You couldn’t wait to love me
(Dmaj)
Used to hate to leave me
(Gmaj) (Emin) (Amaj)
Now after lovin’ me late at night
(Dmaj) (Gmaj) (Emin)
When it’s good for you
(Amaj)
And you’re feelin’ alright
(Dmaj) F#m
Well you just roll over
(Bmin) (Gmin)
And turn out the light
(Dmaj) (Amaj) (Dmaj) – (Amaj) – (Gmaj) – (Amaj)
And you don’t bring me flowers anymore

(verse 2)
(Dmaj) (Amaj) (Gmaj)
It used to be so natural
(Dmaj)
To talk about forever
(Gmaj) (Dmaj)
But “used to be’s” don’t count anymore
(Gmaj) (Emin)
They just lay on the floor
(Dmaj) (Amaj)
‘Til we sweep them away
(Dmaj) (Amaj) – (Gmaj)
And baby, I remember
(Dmaj)
All the things you taught me
(Gmaj)
I learned how to laugh
(Emin) (Amaj)
And I learned how to cry
(Dmaj) (Gmaj)
Well I leared how to love
(Emin) (Amaj)
Even learned how to lie
(Dmaj) F#m
You’d think I could learn
(Bmin) (Gmin)
How to tell you goodbye
(Dmaj) (Amaj) (Dmaj) – (Amaj) – (Gmaj) – (Amaj)
‘Cause you don’t bring me flowers anymore

(Dmaj) F#m (Bmin) (Gmin)
Well you think I could learn How to tell you goodbye
(Dmaj) (Amaj) (Dmaj) (Amaj)
You don’t say you need me. You don’t sing me a love song.
(Dmaj) (Gmaj) (Amaj) (Dmaj)
You don’t bring me flowers anymore.

How to play Don’t Lie To Me: key, chords and progression

Don’t Lie To Me by Barbra Streisand is in the key of D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 7 chords: Dmaj, Amaj, Gmaj, Emin, F#m, Bmin and Gmin.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Amaj – Dmaj – Amaj – Gmaj (V – I – V – IV in D major). In solfa, that is soh – doh – soh – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: on guitar, F#m, Bmin and Gmin need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
