           F C/E F G C
It's not true

     C
You say I've been in prison
     A#             C
You say I've got a wife
You say I've had help doing
      A#                  C
Everything throughout my life

Chorus:
           F              C
It's not true, it's not true
F            C
I'm telling you
       A#                            F
'Cause I'm up here and you're nowhere
                    C
It's not true, so there

I haven't got eleven kids
I weren't born in Baghdad
I'm not half Chinese either
And I didn't kill my dad

Chorus

Am
If you hear more rumors
         F       G         C
You can just forget them, too
Am
Fools start rumors
 F                G
None of them are true

Chorus

     F                A#
You say I've been in prison
         F              A#
And you say I've got a wife
     F                 A#
You say I've had help doing
       F                  A#
Everything throughout my life

   F            A#
I haven't got eleven kids
   F              A#
I weren't born in Baghdad
     F                A#
I'm not half-Chinese either
       F              A# G
And I didn't kill my dad

Chorus

           F              C
It's not true, it's not true
F            C
I'm telling you
       A#                            F
'Cause I'm up here and you're nowhere
           A#          C
It's not true, so there
