[N] [Bb]
[Gm] [Bb] Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh, [Eb]
Maybelline, why [Bb] can't you be true?
[F] You done started doing the things you [Bb] used to do.
I was motivating over the hills, saw Maybelline in the goofy bill.
[Bbm] I kinda like [Bb] rolling on an open road, nothing I'd run my PA for.
I kinda like doing about 95, [Bbm] bumping and [Bb] bumping, rolling side to side.
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
[Eb] Oh, Maybelline, why [Bb] can't you be true?
You done started back doing [F] the things you [Bb] used to do.
I kinda [Bbm] like pulling up to 104, before I got hot and wouldn't do no more.
Gun got cloudy and started to rain, [Bb] I tooted my horn for the passing lady.
[Bbm] Rainwater blowing all under my hood, I knew that I was doing [Bb] my moral good.
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh, [Eb] Maybelline, why [Db] can't you be true?
[Bb] You [F] done started back doing the things you [Bb] used to do.

[F] You done started back doing the things you [Bb] used to do.
[Bbm] Motor cool down, the heat went down, that's when I heard that highway sound.
Kinda like sitting like a torn lead, [Bb] 110 a half a mile ahead.
Kinda like looking like sitting [F] still, and I caught Maybelline [Bb] at the top of the hill.
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
[Eb] Oh, Maybelline, why can't you [Bb] be true?
[F] You done started back doing the things you used to do.
