Heard it from a friend who 
D                                      G 
Heard it from another you been messin' around 
G                              
They say you got a boy friend 
C7 
You're out late every weekend 
D                                           G 
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down  
G 
But I know the neighborhood 
C7 
And talk is cheap when the story is good 
D                                     G 
And the tales grow taller on down the line 
G              
But I'm telling you, babe 
C7 
That I don't think it's true, babe 
D                              G 
And even if it is keep this in mind  
 
{Refrain}  
Em 
You take it on the run baby 
C 
If that's the way you want it baby 
D                     G 
Then I don't want you around 
Em 
I don't believe it 
C 
Not for a minute 
A9                                         D 
You're under the gun so you take it on the run  
G 
You're thinking up your white lies 
C7 
You're putting on your bedroom eyes 
D                                            G 
You say you're coming home but you won't say when 
G              
But I can feel it coming 
C7 
If you leave tonight keep running 
D                            G 
And you need never look back again
