like when we creep out when she ain’t a round.

Have n’t you heard the (CN.C.)ru mours?

You’ve made a (Gm7)fool out of me, and boy, you’re bring ing me down.

You made my heart melt, yet I’m (Dm)cold to the core.

But (Gm7)ru mour has it I’m the one you’re leav ing her for.

Ru mour has it.

All

of these (F)words

(Gm)whis pered in my ear

tell a (A)sto ry that I (F)can not (Gm)bear

to hear.

Just ’cause I (Am)said it,

it don’t (F)mean

that I (Dm)meant it.

(G)Peo ple say cra

zy things.

Just ’cause I said it

don’t (E7sus)mean that I meant it,

just ’cause you heard it.

Ru mour has it.
