Don’t cheat in our hometown
G - D - A - D
D D7 G
1. Tonight my heart is beatin’ low, and my
head is bowed,
A A7 D
you've
been seen with my best friend on the other side of town.
D D7 G
Now, I don't mind this waitin’,
don't mind this running round,
G D A D - D7
but
if you're gonna cheat on me, don't cheat in our home
town.
G D
How can I stand up to my friends and look 'em
in the eye,
G D A
- A7
admit the questions that I know
would be nothing but lies.
D D7 G
You spend all your pasttime makin’ me a clown,
G D A D
but if you're gonna
cheat on me, don't cheat in our home town.
+ G - D - A - D
D D7 G
2. Now there are no secrets in this little country town,
A A7 D
everyone
knows everyone for miles and miles around.
D D7 G
Your bright eyes and your
sweet smile are driving me insane,
G D A
D
- D7
you
think it's smart to break my heart and run down my name.
+ CHORUS
G D A D
+ So if you're gonna cheat on me, don't cheat in our home town.
