Intro: GFCGFC (2x)
---
GFCG
After you came in late last night
FCF
You said you'd been alone
GFCG
Just needed some room to clear your mind
FCFA little time away from home
---
GFCG
Told me you were down on highway nine
FCF
Down by the river bend
GFCG
But this town has ears and this town has eyes
FCG
And a whole lot of so called friends
Chorus:
FC N.C. G
Ooooh, ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
FC N.C. G
Ooooh, oooh, that ain't the way I heard it
FCG
Don't you think I wanna trust every word you say
FCG
Don't you think I want to look in your eyes
FCG
And feel suspicion slip away
FCG
When you say you got nothing to hide
Chorus:
FC N.C. G
Ooooh, ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
FC N.C. G
Ooooh, oooh, that ain't the way I heard it
Bridge:
EmA
Throw me out a lifeline baby
EmA
Offer me a grain of truth
EmA
Treat me with a little bit of dignity
FD
I think I deserve that much from you
---
GFCG
Give me one reason for staying cool
FCG
Tell me they're no good liars
FCG
Don't make me play your pathetic fool
FCG
Baby, show me that old desire
