There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar;
A          B                      E         E 
great expectations, ev'rybody's watchin' you.
E            E                   F#m  B    F#m7 B 
People you meet they all seem to know you,

You look in her eyes, the music begins to play,
A          B                    E     E 
hopeless romantics, here we go again.
E             E                             F#m   B    F#m7 B 
But after a while you're lookin' the other way,

it's those restless hearts that never mend.

There's so many things you should have told her,
B7               B7                    C#m 
but night after night you're willing to hold her,

There's talk on the street, it's there to remind you.

Doesn't really matter which side you're on.
G               G                        Am7  D    D7 
You're walkin' away and they're talkin' behind you,
