HE JUST LIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN

(Eric Stone and Kenny Royster)

(Capo 2^nd fret)

D
Friday night at Ruby Tuesday, looking for her blind date

Joe should be at the bar in a blue shirt but he was running a little late

G D G
She said, "Excuse me, are you Joe?" but before he could tell her no

D
She said, "So nice to meet you, are you ready for the movie?"

A
He thought to himself, she thinks I'm someone else but went ahead and said, "Lets go!"

CHORUS:

G D A D
He just lied and went to Heaven but what's the harm in a little white lie?

G D A
Even though his name is Kevin, he'll be Joe for the rest of the night

G A D
Living it up with the girl of his dreams

G A D
Knowing that he's gonna have to come clean

G A Bm
But right now that'll have to wait

G A D
Oh, what’s in a name anyway?

D
Junior Mints and Coca-Cola, in the last row he got his first kiss

Midnight coffee in an all night diner, 10 minutes late and look what Joe missed

G D G
A perfect night with an angel, that started with a little sin

D
When she finds out his real name, she'll probably kill him
A
But he's had so much fun, when it's all said and done, he'd do it all over again

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE

G D E A
Oh, he's having such a good time, he might be Joe for the rest of his life

REPEAT CHORUS
