The song is in written to sound like the one off "Songs in G"
Eb tuning or E tuning capo on 1 sounds fine for both (I recommend Eb if you are
trying to sing/play at the same time)

C G
She said, boys, they can't be trusted,
F G
I get so disgusted

F G
From there it all just escalated
C G F G
It happened over and over
(C)
And she said
C G F G (C)
Boys lie, like the rug under my feet
C G F G (C)
White lies, every breath between his teeth
C G F G (C)
Fine line, between love and alibis

He made me this one great promise
F G
But call me the doubting Thomas
C G F G
