Now she's gone so carry on

                              A7
Tell me the latest evil about her

                                                              D
'cause like the old saying goes that just makes the tongue go louder

                                                          G
And in the presence of her absense the worst in her comes out

D                   G
It always seems the girl in my dreams

       A7             D
is the girl they talk about

D
Well I guess it's fate

                                      A7
Everyday there's some bad girl around town
It seems to be my luck every girl I pick up
                          D
Is the one everybody puts down
But until they proved I made a foolish move
                       G
Beyond the shadow of a doubt

D              G
I can be found hanging around

A7                 D
The girl they talk about

G
I don't listen to the things they say

D
and let them make a fool out of me

G                            
They're spreading rumors and little

            D                          A7
white lies 'cause they're jealous of me

D
I've heard them say they'll come a day

                             A7
When she's going to paint me blue
She'll brush her past all over my future
                       D
with evil deeds she'll do 
but whatever she's done she's not alone
                                G
there's not a halo on those who shout

D                       G
and in the best crowd I walk proud

A7                        D
Beside the girl they talk about
