Ooh I [Dm]bet you're,
Wonderin' how I knew,

You knew be-fore,
Between two of us [A]guys,
You know I [G]loved you more.

[G] It took me,
By sur-[Bm]prise,
I must [G]say,
When I [Dm]found out,
Yester-[G]day.
Don't you know that:

Chorus 1:

I [Dm]heard it through,
The [Dsus4]grape-[Dm]vine,
Not much [G]longer,
Would you be mine,
Oh, I [Dm]heard it through,
The [Dsus4]grape-[Dm]vine,
Oh, I'm [G]just about,
To lose my mind,
Honey, honey [Dm]yeah.

Verse 2:

I know a [Dm]man ain't,
Supposed to cry,
But these [A]tears,
I can't hold in-[G]side,
Losing you would,
[Dm] End my life you see,
Cos you [A]mean,
That much to [G]me.

Bridge 2:

[G] You could have;
[Bm] Told me your-[G]self,
That you [Dm]loved,
Someone [G]else.
Instead;

But be con-fused,
If it's [A]true,
Please [G]tell me dear.
