Chords for tanya stevens -little white lie

Once upon a time there was a happy family.
[Em] There was a baby girl, a daddy, and there [Dm] was a mom.
Mommy had a secret, she told a little [F] white lie.
When she tucked the baby in at night, she sang her this lullaby.
[C] You got your daddy's smile, you got his eyes.
[Em] I feel my heart breaking every time [Dm] you cry.
I'm gonna burn in hell, but it's no [F] sacrifice.
Your stupidity is worth a million lies.
[C] I see your daddy in everything you do.
And if you [Em] could talk, I bet you'd talk like him too.
[D] But he can't [Dm] be your daddy, I hope you understand.
[F] A man who thinks he's your father is a much better man.
[C] Maybe one day you'll end up crying on Rikki Lake.
[Em] But baby, it's a chance your mama's willing to take.
[Dm] Cause I love you, even if my heart is gonna break.
[F] Ain't no reason you should suffer from my mistakes.
And [C] so I lied.
Baby, [Em] I tried.
And it kills [Dm] me inside.
Yeah.
But [F] I'm gonna live with this until the day I die.
[C] And I'm sure, baby, oh, [Em] how I hurt.
But I know [Dm] what you were.
Yeah.
Oh, [F] I'm gonna live with this until I hit the dirt.
[C] Someday.
And every day by herself, the mama cried.
But at [Em] night, she smiled when her daddy was by her side.
[Dm] There were times she almost told him, and it really broke her heart.
[F] But she forced herself to keep the [Dm] secret that was tearing her apart.
Now [C] I can't sleep at night.
I lost my appetite.
[Em] Everybody keeps saying, the baby looks kinda light.
[Dm] And I tell them, every new born baby looks the same.
[F] While I'm praying to God, please make your color change.
[C] The emotions on his face when he's looking at you.
I could've told him, [Em] he ain't your boy, boy, he's my wolf.
[D] He's got your picture [Dm] tattooed on his arm.
Now he's [F] bragging to his friends about his first one.
Oh, God, [C] ain't our love really hot?
[Em] If he ever found out, it would kill me too.
[Dm] Now I'm caught between a rock and a really hard place.
[F] I'd give anything to keep that smile on his face.
[C] So I lied.
Baby, [Em] I tried.
And it killed [Dm] me inside.
Yeah.
But [F] I'm gonna live with this until the day I die.
[C] You heard.
Baby, oh, [Em] how I hurt.
But I know [Dm] what you were.
Yeah.
So [F] I'm gonna live with this until I hit the dirt.
[C] Someday.
Mommy kept the family together the best [Em] way she could.
She knew in this case the truth would do [Dm] more harm than good.
What daddy didn't know didn't hurt him.
He [F] had no cause to fret.
That's as close to happily ever after [C] as anyone can get.
