  Yeah you say that you don't love me
| | | Yeah you talk about the other boys | | | And you laugh in my face
    |Am                         |      |      |  |

|Em        |                 |         |
And I hear all these rumours about you
| | | | | Yea the trash lines up at my door just to bring me the news
    |Am                 |          |      |  |
But all it does is make me kind of wonder

|Em               |              |     |  |
Why are people so eager to be so cruel
