Em

[Verse 1]
D                Em
 I always lie to strangers
D                          Em
 I always lie to people I may know
D
 There’ll be no church
       Em
 bells chiming for me
C                 B
 No contest is my only plea
C
 Call me anything you like
        B
I would never disagree

I always lie to strangers

[Verse 2]
D                     Em
 I’ve never taken the high
 road home
D                           Em
 The old low road seems to get
 me there fast
D                         Em
 High or low it’s all the same
C                         B
Living by your word is a sucker’s
game
C                B
 And I’m used to taking
 all the blame
C                   B
 Can’t bother taking
 that high road home
C7            B7     Em
 And I always lie to strangers

[Verse 3]
D                Em
 I always lie to strangers
D                  Em
 I am a man of low degree
D                         Em
 This world is run by men
C                       B
 Much more crooked than me
C                    B
 And as far as I can see
C                 B
 I don’t trust you and you
 shouldn’t trust me
C7        B7     Em
 I always lie to strangers
C7                B7
 Because I always lie
    Em
 to strangers
