Dm A7 G Bet you're wondering how I knew 'bout your plans to make me blue Dm A7 G with some other guy that you knew before. Between the two of us guys you know I love you more. Bm G Dm G It took me by surprise I must say, when I found out yesterday. Dm G Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine. Dm G Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine, and I'm just about to lose my mind. Dm Honey, honey yeah. Dm A7 G You know that a man ain't supposed to cry, but these tears I can't hold inside. Dm A7 G Losin' you would end my life, you see, 'cause you mean that much to me. Bm G Dm G You could have told me yourself that you found someone else. Instead, Dm G I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be mine. Dm G Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine, and I'm just about to lose my mind. Dm Honey, honey, yeah. Dm A7 G People say, "Believe half of what you see, son, and none of what you hear." Dm A7 G I can't help bein' confused. If it's true, please tell me, dear. Bm G Dm G Do you plan to let me go for the other guy that you knew before? Dm G Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be mine. Dm G Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine, and I'm just about to lose my mind. Dm Honey, honey yeah.
