Rumors

Am               Em               Am                    Em
How do rumors get started, they're started by the jealous people and
Am                      G                       F               G
They get mad seein' somethin' they had and somebody else is holdin'
Am              Em              Am      Em
Tell me that temptation is very hard to resist
Am              G        F           G
But these wicked women, ooh, they just persist
Am                 Em           Am              Em
Maybe you think it's cute, but girl, I'm not impressed
Am                  G             F             G
I tell you one time only with my business please don't mess


[Chorus]
Am              Em         Am           Em
Look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
Am              G       F               G
I just need some time, some time to get away from
Am              Em         Am           Em
From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
F                                               G
My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door


[Verse 2]
Am              Em              Am              Em
Hear the one about Tina, some say she's much too loose
Am                  G             F                       G
That came straight from a guy who claims he's tastin' her juice
Am                    Em                  Am            Em
Hear the one about Michael, some say he must be gay
Am                  G                    F                        G
I try to argue, but they said if he was straight he wouldn't move that way
Am                    Em                  Am            Em
Hear the one about Susan, some say she's just a tease
Am                  G                    F                  G
In a camisole she's six feet tall, she'll knock you to you knees


[Chorus]
Am              Em         Am           Em
Look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
Am              G       F               G
I just need some time, some time to get away from
Am              Em         Am           Em
From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
F                                               G
My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door


[Verse 3]
Am         Em             Am            Em
I can't go no place without somebody pointin' a finger
Am                  G                    F                  G
I can't show my face cause when it comes to rumors I'm a dead ringer
Am              Em        Am            Em
It seems from rumors I just can't get away
Am                    G                  F                  G
I bet there'll even be rumors floatin' around on Judgment Day
Am                             Em                Am             Em
I'll think I'll write my congressman and tell him to pass a bill
Am                               G                F                 G
For the next time they catch somebody startin' rumors, shoot to kill


[Chorus]
Am              Em         Am           Em
Look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day

F                                               G
I'm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life
