Cheatin Is

B
Cheatin' is a thing that starts when
 you bring two lonely people
                              E
Face to face with a brand new kiss
F#
She blames him, he blames her
But neither one is ever quite sure 
                    B
which way it really is
    E
And all of the time in the back of 
their minds,

They know they're gonna have to lie 
                    B
about where they've been
Cheatin' is a thing that'll take a 
little ring
    F#                           
And breaks it into pieces that'll 
                    B
never go together again

Cheatin' is the part of loving that 
starts
when true love isn't what lovers are
 looking for
A stranger here, a stranger there
Then you turn around and swear that 
you'll never go back for more
And lying at night, when you're 
holding him tight,
is something that a cheater's heart 
just has to learn
Cheatin' is a thing that's 
guaranteed
to bring two unhappy people to the 
point of no return

The worst of cheatin' is the sad 
little kids hanging in the middle
while Mommy and Daddy choose
Cheatin' is a game where nobody wins
And the ones that aren't big enough 
to play are the ones who lose
