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

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