D
Everybody said I'd leave you
G Dm Em
They gave us six months to a year
A
Said our love would just fall pray to
G A
The jukebox, women and the beer
D
They wanna get those rumours flyin'
G Dm Em
They're watchin' for a rendez-vous
G A D
But if they ever say I'm cheatin'
G
They'll be lyin'
A D
The truth is lyin' next to you
(chorus)
D A
Thruth is
D G
I'm gonna be here for a long long time
A G D
I'll stay forever or 'til you say goodbye
D G
Don't need a neon moon to make my night shine
Em A
And if you need some lovin' proof
G
Just reach out
A D
The truth is lyin' next to you
Over phone lines and back fences
We're the talk of this whole town
They just shake their heads in wonder
They can't believe I'm still around
They can search the backstreet barrooms
To see if I'm with someone new
But if they ever say they saw me
They'll be lyin'
The thruth is lyin' next to you
(repeat chorus twice)

I prefer the second, but I think the first is used more often in this song
