[G] Heard it from a friend who
[C] Heard it from [G] a friend [D] who
Heard it from another [G] you've been messing around
[D] [G] They say you got a [C] boyfriend
You're up late every [D] weekend
They're talking about you and [G] it's bringing it down
But I know that neighborhood
[C] They talk it's cheap when the story [D] is good
And the tales go upon a run 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 this in [G]
mind
[D] [Em] You take it on the run [C] baby
If that's the way you want it [D] baby
Then I don't want you [G] around
[D] [Em] I don't believe [C] it
Not gonna beat [Am] it
You run through the guards
Oh you take [D] it on the run
[G] You're thinking of your white [C]
lies
You're putting on your bedroom [D] eyes
You say you're coming home but you [G] won't say when
But I can feel it [C] coming
If you leave tonight keep [D] running
And you leave me every night [G] just like you can
[D] You [Em] take it on the run
[C]
If that's the way you want [D] it
I don't want [G] you around
I [D] [Em] don't believe [C] it
Not gonna beat [Am] it
