A# G# D# A#
After you came in late last night
G# D# A#
You said you'd been alone
G# D# A#
Just needed some room to clear your mind
G# D# A#
A little time away from home
G# D# A#
Told me you were out on highway nine
G# D# A#
Down by the river bend
G# D# A#
But this town has ears and this town has eyes
G# D# A#
And a whole lot of so called friends
G# D# A#
Oooooh that ain't the way I heard it
G# D# A#
Ooh that ain't the way I heard it
G# D# A#
Don't you think I wanna trust every word you say
G# D# A#
Don't you think I want to look in your eyes
G# D# A#
And feel suspicion slip away
G# D# A#
When you say you got nothing to hide
G# D# A#
Oooooh that ain't the way I heard it
G# D# A#
Ooh that ain't the way I heard it
Gm C
Throw me out a lifeline baby
Gm C
Offer me a grain of truth
Gm C
Treat me with a little bit of dignity
G# F
I think I deserve that much from you
A# G# D# A#
Give me one reason for stayin' cool
G# D# A#
Tell me they're no good liars
G# D# A#
Don't make me play your pathetic fool
G# D# A#
Baby, show me that old desire
