         Ab      Bb               
        Well, I had to leave town 
                            Ab  Bb
because of Uncle Sam's deal
             (ha-ha-ha-yeah)
         Ab      Bb               
        Well, I guess my good 
                        Ab  Bb
lovin' done lost its appeal
           Db        Eb           
        Because when I come back I
                         Db  Eb
 heard the bad, bad news
             Ab      Bb           
        They say our big romance 
                       Ab  Bb
has been gettin' abused

Chorus:

                       F7
        Owww, tell me true
                     Eb
        Don't lie to me
        Have you been 
C7/E                 F7          
step-step-step-step-step-step-steppin' out on me
      Ab     Bb
