[Primera Parte]

         Am      G/B        C
Mama, I lied when I was sixteen
                         F
I said the bottle ain't mine
                      G
And I'll never smoke weed
              Am
Now I've grown up
       G/B                 C
You'd think things have changed
                 F
Hurts me just as much
                    G
To say they're the same

[Estribillo]

        Am
Mama, I lied
                G
He ain't a good guy
            F              C/B        G
He makes me cry sometimes out of the blue
              Am                   G
I'm not sure why it took all this time
        F             C/B         G
I was afraid of what you'd say to do
         Dm                  C/B
Guess I wasn't ready yet to hear the hard truth
     G       Am  G/B  C  F  G
So mama, I lied

[Segunda Parte]

             Am      G/B              C
I'd wipe the tears as quick as they'd fall
                 F                           G
Say everything's fine every time that you'd call
                   Am
And I'd swear he's perfect
        G/B          C
Hoping you couldn't tell
                    F
He was stealing my spark
                            G
Walking me straight through hell

[Estribillo]

        Am
Mama, I lied
                G
He ain't a good guy
            F              C/B        G
He makes me cry sometimes out of the blue
              Am                   G
I'm not sure why it took all this time
        F             C/B         G
I was afraid of what you'd say to do
         Dm                  C/B
Guess I wasn't ready yet to hear the hard truth
     G       Am  G/B  C  F  G
So mama, I lied

[Puente]

         Am                           G           C
You said, when somebody shows you who they really are
              F       G
You better believe 'em
G    Am                   G/B                   C
So I painted him the only way I thought you and I
             F   G
Would wanna see him

[Estribillo]

        Am
Mama, I lied
                G
He ain't a good guy
            F              C/B        G
He makes me cry sometimes out of the blue
              Am                   G
I'm not sure why it took all this time
        F             C/B         G
I was afraid of what you'd say to do
         Dm                  C/B
Guess I wasn't ready yet to hear the hard truth
     G       Am  G/B  C  F  G
So mama, I lied
G       Am      G/B  C  F  G
So mama, I lied
