G
Heard it from a friend who
C
Heard it from a friend who
D G Dsus D G
Heard it from another you been messin' around
They say you got a boy friend
C
You're up there every weekend
D G (riff 1)
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down
G
But I know the neighborhood
C
And talk is cheap when the story is good
D G (riff 1)
And the tales grow taller on down the line
G
But I'm telling you, babe
C
That I don't think it's true, babe
D G G G/F#
And even if it is keep this in mind
{Refrain}
Em
You take it on the run baby
C
If that's the way you want it baby
D G G G/F#
Then I don't want you around
Em
I don't believe it
C
Not for a minute
Am D Dsus D G
You're under the gun so you take it on the run
G
You're thinking up your white lies
C
You're putting on your bedroom eyes
D G (riff 1)
You say you're coming home but you won't say when
G
But I can feel it coming
C
If you leave tonight keep running
D G G G/F#
And you need never look back again
Repeat Refrain x 1
Solo
(It will help if you have a guitar with 24 frets with this,
otherwise you'll be doing some SERIOUS string bending!)
I'll admit that the tab is NOT exact, but if you listen to the track
you'll get a better idea of the timing/picking.

Lyrics fetched from ftp.uwp.edu
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official REO SPEEDWAGON tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
