G F C G
After you came in late last night
F C F
You said you'd been alone
G F C G
Just needed some room to clear your mind
F C F
A little time away from home
G F C G
Told me you were down on highway nine
F C F
Down by the river bend
G F C G
But this town has ears and this town has eyes
F C G
And a whole lot of so called friends
CHORUS:
F C N.C. G
Ooooh, ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
F C N.C. G
Ooooh, oooh, that ain't the way I heard it
F C G
Don't you think I wanna trust every word you say
F C G
Don't you think I want to look in your eyes
F C G
And feel suspicion slip away
F C G
When you say you got nothing to hide
CHORUS:
F C N.C. G
Ooooh, ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
F C N.C. G
Ooooh, oooh, that ain't the way I heard it
BRIDGE:

Throw me out a lifeline baby
Em A
Offer me a grain of truth
Em A
Treat me with a little bit of dignity
F D
I think I deserve that much from you
G F C G
Give me one reason for staying cool
F C G
Tell me they're no good liars
F C G
Don't make me play your pathetic fool
F C G
Baby, show me that old desire
