With such a Esaddened eye.
{On the B to E progression, the bass goes to C#}
[Chorus]
F#I've heard stories, Eugly stories which F#no one can deny
EThey were Btrue. They were true
BWhile I was away, you were working every day or so it Eseemed.
Phone Bcalls, regrets, everyone placed bets on odds I Ewouldn't see.
[Chorus]
F#I've heard stories, Eugly stories which F#no one can deny
EThey were Btrue. They were true
They were true 
They were true

Etrust in anyF#one.
At least not for long B  
BNext time you're in town

You're not Ewelcome anymore.
BUnfair, so unkind, 
To have wasted my time 
On such a Esilly dream…
[Chorus]
F#I've heard stories, Eugly stories which F#no one can deny
EThey were Btrue. They were true
They were true 
They were true

[Intro]

Farewell. Bye bye. The sorry look in your eye,

It doesn't mean a thing.

So long, we shared beds now it comes to an end

With such a saddened eye.

{On the B to E progression, the bass goes to C#}

[Chorus]

F# E F#

I've heard stories, ugly stories which no one can deny

E B

They were true. They were true

B E

While I was away, you were working every day or so it seemed.

B E

Phone calls, regrets, everyone placed bets on odds I wouldn't see.

[Chorus]

F# E F#

I've heard stories, ugly stories which no one can deny

E B

They were true. They were true

They were true

[Bridge]

Believe in your doubts

F# B

Be cause I found out

G#m

You can never

E F#

Trust in anyone

G#m E

And here in the South

F# B

I call you out {bass goes to Bb}

G#m

You can never

E F#

trust in anyone.

At least not for long

Next time you're in town

Don't bother coming around

You're not welcome anymore.

Unfair, so unkind,

To have wasted my time

On such a silly dream…

[Chorus]

F# E F#

I've heard stories, ugly stories which no one can deny

E B

They were true. They were true

They were true
