Verse 1

        E                                   A
Tonight my heart is beatin’ low and my head is bowed
       A    B                                             E
You’ve been seen with my best friend on the other side of town
I don’t mind the waitin’ don’t mind the runnin’ around
    A                     E     B                  E    E7
But if you’re gonna cheat on me don’t cheat in our home town.

Chorus

    A                            E               E   E7
How can I stand up to my friends and look em’ in the eye
      A                         E                B   B7
Admit the questions that I know would be nothin’ but lies
    E                                A
You spend all your pastime makin’ me a clown
    A                     E     B                  E    E7
But if you’re gonna cheat on me don’t cheat in our home town.

Verse 2

    E     E                      A
Now there are no secrets in this little country town
      B                                 E
Every one knows every one for miles and miles around
            E                             A
Your bright eyes and your sweet smile are drivin’ me insane
    A                         E  B                  E  E7
You think it’s smart to break my heart and run down my name.
