You Know How Talk Gets Around
Recorded by Eddy Arnold  written by Fred Rose

C                                     F
I'm hearing funny stories and they're far from being true
    G7                     C
But you know how talk gets around
                                      F
Those busy tongues are wagging saying I walked out on you
    G7                     C
But you know how talk gets around

  F              G7             C
I must admit our romance wasn't all that it should be
   D7                               G7
We tried to claim a love we'd never found
     C                              F
They say you're living reckless and they blame it on me
    G7                     C
But you know how talk gets around

                                      F
I hear you're glad we parted that you say and you don't care
    G7                     C
Now you know how talk gets around
                               F
They're telling everybody that I didn't treat you fair
    G7                     C
And you know how talk gets around

  F             G7                  C
I wish I wasn't quite so proud when I'm around with friends
     D7                       G7
Then I wouldn't feel so honor bound
    C                               F
I'd give the world to tell them how I'd love to make commands
    G7                     C
But you know how talk gets around
