F             C     Gm        F
I have heard rumors all over town,
F                      C    Gm           F
They say that you're planning to put me down.
A#           Am          C
All I would like you to do,
Dm                 Gm      F
Is tell me that it isn't 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.

Chorus:
A#                Am           Gm           F
To know that some other man is holdin' you tight,
A               Dm       Gm           Am   Gm
It hurts me all over, it doesn't seem right.

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.

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.
