Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

x2

How many times have you used that line?

Did you replace the last two dozen names with mine?

Was “I love you, baby” second nature by now?

‘Cause it sounds awful rehearsed when the words leave your mouth

I don’t know why

But it seems that I’m not the first

To have heard this speech

Is this a routine you just repeat?

'Cause I don’t mean to presume that

You don’t love me like you say you do

But you’re gonna have to prove that you’re true;

And you’re not just talkin’ smooth

x2

Your performance deserves an academy award

And it’s a double-edged-sword ‘cause I sure feel adored

Just between us, I’d rather see you slip up

Don’t you know, it’s those less than perfect words

I can’t get enough of

Maybe I’m out of my head

But I’m telling you, baby, that I’ve been misled

So if the record’s off, could you get it set?

I don’t mean to presume that

You don’t love me like you say you do

But you’re gonna have to prove that you’re true;

And you’re not just talkin’ smooth

Well you’ve proven your charm is a crime

Why don’t you see the harm

In relying on this disguise?

You’re losing me with every little

x2

Wink of the eye

The end of my rope

Is slipping out of my hold

So, if you’re clever, you’d better

Do some damage control

And I don’t know why, but it seems

You’ve made a game out of

Making a fool out of me

And I did not sign up

To be your tongue-in-cheek

I don’t mean to presume that

You don’t love me like you say you do

But you’re gonna have to prove that you’re true;

x2

And you’re not just talkin’ smooth

Oh can you prove you’re not just talkin’ smooth
