INTRO: G  F  C  G    F  C  (2x)

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:
Em                      A
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

That ain't the way I heard it
