Bm Bm/aG F# Sometime she said I'm slow Bm Bm/a G F# She said it about me but it's too soon to know Bm Bm/a G F# Don't mind leaving, wondering why Bm [n.c.] Whosoever told it, told a dirty lie Well, I'll tell you one more to Take what is you with you when you go Now I'll tumble, tumble and die Whosoever told it, told a dirty lie
G Already seen your dirty mate Bm Sure find it harder to concentrate G I'll be beloved, times too slow F# G F# But make sure you take her with you when you go
I'll love it and leave it, the sun go down Pray for the rain for miles around I'll never leave it to wonder why Whosoever told you, told a dirty lie [instrumental verses]
Oh, they time you and I'm telling you I'd be watching, baby no matter what you do And I'll leave alone, you're far too slow Just make sure you take her with you when you go
I want to leave, my feet's soaking wet I long to leave but I ain't found you yet And I know baby, telling you why Whosoever told me, told a dirty lie
