Dm A Dm x2
Gm Dm C Dm
Talk is cheap and rumors spread but they go with the wind
It's not about she said he's sick 'cause I know where it ends
I know the real truth, and the real truth is you
It's funny 'cause at times it feels like us against the world
They treat you like a criminal but I'll still be your girl
I'd ride or die with you, walk the line if you asked me to
