[Verse 1]
C                  F         G
Bobby said, "Let's play some cards
F                   C
"I got a truck out in the yard
 F           G                 C
"That I came across – it was a steal
C
"Lay a couple paychecks down
F                C
"Drink a few and play a couple rounds
      F                 G
"And throw the dice and laugh over
           C
somebody’s meal"


[Verse 2]
C
Would anyone ever believe
F                     C
Sleight of hand and a long sleeve
F                 G
Could turn old friends into new
C
enemies?
C
In the fog of all the blame
F                        C
The Devil straightened a bad shot's aim
F                             G
Now Bobby and his six-shooter went all-
           C
in for the deal


[Chorus]
C                         B*/C
I gotta give to ya straight     Satan
F / D#  /    C
You weren't lying
               F   /   E* / C
When you said "I’m the best liar
         G
"And the fastest one of them all"
       F /  E* / C
Well, now this f‌ire burns
F  /    E* / C
Higher and higher
      G         F
Hot coals burn cold
               C
Compared to a soul


[Verse 3]
 C
Jezebel lived care free
  F             C
Fast cars and jewelry
   F                  G
Married right outta school to a young
  C
Marine
  C
Then a new man moved to town
  F                         C
Spoke loud and threw his money around
      F         G
And caught the eye of a soldier's wife
    C
in need


[Verse 4]
C
A hard fight and a prayer for peace
F
Turned a long time gone to an early
 C
release
    F         G
And he came home to different kind of
C
war
  C
Greater love hath no man
  F                         C
Like a broken heart with a gun in his

hand
      F            G                 C
And Jezebel don't live carefree no more


[Chorus]
 C                         B*/C
I gotta give to ya,straight     Satan
 F / E*  /   C
You weren't lying

When you said "I'm the best liar

"And the fastest one of them all"
           F /   E* / C
Well, now this f‌ire burns
    F / E* / C
Higher and higher
       G         F
Hot coals burn cold
                C
Compared to a soul


[Chorus]
 C                          B*/C
I gotta give to ya, straight.   Satan
  F / D# /  C
You weren't lying
