Kings of Convenience - Rumours

[Intro]
A C#m F#m
(x2)

[Verse 1]
A C#m Bm7
I heard them whisper and say
Bm7 E
Bad things about you
A C#m Bm7
Accusations, we both know, are wrong
Bm7 E C#m
It’s not true, what they say about you
Bm7 E A C#m Bm7
It’s not true, what they say about you

A C#m Bm7

[Verse 2]
A C#m Bm7
I know you as generous and kind
D C#m Bm7 A
They were blind
Bm7 E
With the injustice of this crazy world
A C#m Bm7
I know you as humble and fair
Bm7 E
How can anyone expect you to
C#m F#m
Solve all the problems, addressed to you?
Bm7 E
They had too many, and your arms too few

A C#m Bm7
(x2)

[Chorus]
Bm7 A
Don’t let them tell you, don’t let them tell you who you are
Bm7 A
Don’t let them tell you, don’t let them tell you who you are
Bm7 A
Don’t let thеm tell you, don’t let them tеll you who you are

A C#m Bm7
(x2)

[Verse 3]
A C#m Bm7
I heard them calling your name
D C#m Bm7 A Bm7 E
In a way that’s supposed to make you feel bad
C#m F#m
For the mess your father made
Bm7 E
They want to open your wounds again
C#m F#m
Turn the eyes of the world away
Bm7 E
From their own well-hidden crimes
C#m F#m
I want to tell you that I love you
Bm7 E
But I know you can’t hear me now
C#m F#m
I know you can’t hear me now

[Chorus]
C Em7 A
(Don’t let them tell you, don’t let them tell you who you are
C Em7 A
Don’t let them tell you, don’t let them tell you who you are
C Em7 A
Don’t let them tell you, don’t let them tell you who you are)

A C#m Bm7
(x4)

[Outro]
Bm7 A
Don’t let them tell you, don’t let them tell you who you are
Bm7 A
Don’t let them tell you, don’t let them tell you who you are
Bm7 A
Don’t let them tell you, don’t let them tell you who you are
