Standard (EADGBE)

Who needs friends who never show

I'll tell you what you wanna know

I could have saved a broken heart

 If I'd found out long ago

Chorus 1

 I'm just thinking about those lonely nights

 When I waited for your call

 'Til I found out all my friends were right

I didn't know you at all

Chorus 2

I heard a rumor oh, oh, I heard a rumor

 They say you got a broken heart

I heard a rumor, yes I did, boy

 I heard a rumor

Now it seems they're telling me

You've changed your wicked ways

 But should I give you a second chance

Baby, I'm too afraid

 So you realize what hurt you made

 And the love you threw away

 How can I forgive or soon forget

 It's never gonna be the same

(repeat chorus 2 twice)

(repeat chorus 1)

(repeat chorus 2, 3 times to fade)
