Rumors

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


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


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


[Chorus]
Am              Em         Am   
Look at all these rumors 
        Em
surroundin' me every day
Am              G       F       
I just need some time, some time
        G
 to get away from
Am              Em         Am   
From all these rumors, I can't 
        Em
take it no more

F                                 
My best friend said there's one 
              G

door


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


[Chorus]
Am              Em         Am   
Look at all these rumors 
        Em

[Verse 4]
Am                      Em       
What's mine is mine, I ain't got 
       Am              Em
time for rumors in my life
F                                 
I'm a man who thinks, not a man 
              G
who drinks, so please let me live my
 life
Am                      Em
