C
Heard it from a friend who
D G Dsus D G
Heard it from another you been messin' around
They say you got a boy friend
C
You're up there every weekend
D G (riff 1)
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down
G
But I know the neighborhood
C
And talk is cheap when the story is good
D G (riff 1)
And the tales grow taller on down the line
G
But I'm telling you, babe
C
That I don't think it's true, babe
D G G G/F#
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 G G/F#
Then I don't want you around
Em
I don't believe it
C
Not for a minute
Am D Dsus D G
You're under the gun so you take it on the run
G
You're thinking up your white lies
C
You're putting on your bedroom eyes
D G (riff 1)
You say you're coming home but you won't say when
G
But I can feel it coming
C
If you leave tonight keep running
D G G G/F#
And you need never look back again
Repeat Refrain x 1
Solo
(It will help if you have a guitar with 24 frets with this,
otherwise you'll be doing some SERIOUS string bending!)
I'll admit that the tab is NOT exact, but if you listen to the track
you'll get a better idea of the timing/picking.

| I always thought it was about a man who's heard that his girlfriend is cheating on him, and because he thought that they were perfect together, and that he really understood her, he couldn't picture her cheating on him. Thus, he's appealing for her to tell him the truth. | |

| I agree with Eralstud. This song should have at least 30 comments or more. This song is a favorite of mine. The words just flow in it. My favorite part is "Heard it from a friend who Heard it from a friend who Heard it from another you been messin' around" | |

| I can't believe that no one has submitted this song before me, I thought it was their biggest hit. I think this song is about the lead singer's girlfriend who claims that she's cheating but really isn't. Basically she just wants attention, but he's not believing it. | |
