[D]Heard it from another you been messin' a[G]round[Dsus] [D] [G]
They say you got a boy friend

[C]Not for a minute
[Am]You're under the gun so you take it on the [D]run[Dsus] [D] [G]
[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]And you need never look back [G]again[G] [G/F#]
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.
[Em] [C] [Am]
