[D]I have heard [A]rumors [Em]all over [D]town,
[D] They say that you're [A]planning[Em] to put me [D]down.
[G] All I would[F#m] like you to [A]do,
[G/b] Is tell me that it [Em]isn't [D]true.
They say that you've been seen with some other man,
That he's tall, dark and handsome, and you're holding his hand.
Darlin', I'm a-countin' on you,
Tell me that it isn't true.
[G]To know that some [F#m]other man is [Em]holdin' you [D]tight,
[F#]It hurts me all [Bm]over, it [Em]doesn't seem [F#m]right.[Em]
All of those awful things that I have heard,
I don't want to believe them, all I want is your word.
So darlin', you better come through,
Tell me that it isn't true.
(instrumental break)
All of these awful things that I have heard,
I don't want to believe them, all I want is your word.
So darlin', I'm countin' on you,
Tell me that it isn't true.
[F#] [Bm] [Em] [F#m]
