D MajorD
Now she's gone so carry on
               A7A7
Tell me the latest evil about her
                               D MajorD
'cause like the old saying goes that just makes the tongue go louder
                             G+G
And in the presence of her absense the worst in her comes out
D MajorD          G+G
It always seems the girl in my dreams
    A7A7       D MajorD
is the girl they talk about
D MajorD
Well I guess it's fate
                   A7A7
Everyday there's some bad girl around town

It seems to be my luck every girl I pick up
             D MajorD
Is the one everybody puts down

But until they proved I made a foolish move
            G+G
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
D MajorD       G+G
I can be found hanging around
A7A7         D MajorD
The girl they talk about
G+G
I don't listen to the things they say
D MajorD
and let them make a fool out of me
G+G
They're spreading rumors and little
      D MajorD             A7A7
white lies 'cause they're jealous of me
D MajorD
I've heard them say they'll come a day
               A7A7
When she's going to paint me blue

She'll brush her past all over my future
            D MajorD
with evil deeds she'll do

but whatever she's done she's not alone
                G+G
there's not a halo on those who shout
D MajorD            G+G
and in the best crowd I walk proud
A7A7            D MajorD
Beside the girl they talk about
