Word Gets Around

D D It's not the secret if someone's tellin' you D A And it's not free babe if someone's sellin' you A That same old story they've been callin' the news G A So what you gonna do, I tell you my point of view D D7 I say word, word gets around, like proper nouns in little towns G D And who can ever tell how the deal really went down D A D You hear that sound, word gets around D Some might say it's your word against mine D A I say pay attention when the thread gets fine A How lies and truth can become all intertwined G A Between the lines, yeah I'm gonna speak my mind D D7 I say word, word gets around, like proper nouns in little towns G D And who can ever tell how the deal really went down D A D A D You hear that sound, word gets around, word gets around D A G A D A So who's to say what's been truly goin' on A No use in talkin' if the truth's dead and gone A G So I'll just shut up now and sing my song A And you can sing along D D7 I say word, word gets around, like proper nouns in little towns G D And who can ever tell how the deal really went down D A D A D A D A D You hear that sound, word gets around, word gets around, word gets around, word gets around D Now somebody told me that they heard you was sayin' that I was talkin' about somebody sayin' D That it went down like this, well that ain't the way I heard it
