That Ain't The Way I Heard It

Intro: A# G# D# A# (x4)

VERSE 1:

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

VERSE 2:

                  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

CHORUS:

G# D#                         A#
Oooooh that ain't the way I heard it
G# D#                      A#
Ooh that ain't the way I heard it

VERSE 3:

                          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

CHORUS:

G# D#                         A#
Oooooh that ain't the way I heard it
G# D#                      A#
Ooh that ain't the way I heard it

VERSE 4:

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

VERSE 5:

 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
