Heard it from a friend [C] who
Heard it from a friend [D] who
Heard it from [C] another you've been messing [G] around
They say you got a boyfriend
[C] You're out late every [D] weekend
They're talking about you and it's bringing [G] me down
But I know the neighborhood
[C] And talk is cheap when the story is [D] good
And the tales go taller on down [G] the line
But I'm telling you, [C] babe
That I don't think it's true, [D] babe
And even if it is, keep [G] this in mind
[F#m] [Em] You're taking it on the run, [C] baby
If that's the way you want it, baby
[D] Then I don't want you [G] around
I
[D] [Em] don't believe [C] it
Not for a minute
[Am] You run through the guards, now you're taking it [D] on the [D] run
[G] You're picking up your white [C] lies
You're putting on your bedroom [D] eyes
You say you're coming home, but you won't [G] say when
But I can feel it coming
[C] If you leave tonight, keep running
[D] If you need me, never look back [G] again
[F#m] [Em] You're taking it on the run, [C] baby
If that's the way you want it, baby
[D] Then I don't want you [G] around

You should have seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was something missing
You should have known by the tone of [C] my voice, [F] maybe
But you didn't listen
You [G] played dead, [F] but you [G] never bled
[Am] Instead you laid still in the grass
All coiled [G] up in his sad
[F]
Though I know all about [C] thousand men
[F] Still I don't remember
[C]
[F] Cause it was us, baby, way before then
And we're still together
Yeah, [G] I meant [F] every word [G] I said
