Take it on the Run by REO Speedwagon Chords & Lyrics

Take it on the Run by REO Speedwagon

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around                

They say you got a boy friend
You're up there every weekend
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down

But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line

But I'm telling you, babe
That I don't think it's true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind    [G/F#]

{c:Refrain}
{start_of_chorus}
You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around    [G/F#]
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run                
{end_of_chorus}

You're thinking up your white lies
You're putting on your bedroom eyes
You say you're coming home but you won't say when

But I can feel it coming
If you leave tonight keep running
And you need never look back again    [G/F#] 

{c:Repeat Refrain x 1}

{c:Solo}

                                                           
(repeat 4x)

{c:Repeat Refrain x 2}

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around
