[Ebm] bet you wondered how I knew
I choked [B] hands to make me blue
With someone [Ab] I knew before
Between the two of us [Bb] guys you know I love you more
It took me by [Ebm] surprise I'm asleep
When I [B] found out yesterday
Don't you know that I [Ab] heard it through the grapevine
Not much [Bb] longer would you be mine
Oh I [Ebm] heard it through the grapevine
I'm [B] just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, [Ab] well
I'm [Bb] just about to lose my mind
I know a man [Ebm] ain't supposed to cry
But these [B] tears I can't hold inside
Losing [Ab] you would end my life you see
Cause you [Bb] mean that much to me
You could have [Ebm] told me yourself
That you [B] loved someone else
Instead [Ab] I heard it through the grapevine
Not much [Bb] longer would you be mine
Oh I [Ebm] heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer [Bb] would you be mine
Baby [Ebm] I heard it through the grapevine
Oh I'm just [B] about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, [Ab] well
I'm just about [Bb] to lose my mind
People say be [Eb] careful [Ebm] what you see
Son of a gun [B] or what you hear
But I can't [Ab] help being confused
If it's [Bb] true please tell me dear
Do you [Ebm] plan to let me go
For the other [B] guy you loved before
Don't you know [Ab] I heard it through the grapevine
Not much [Bb] longer would you be mine
Baby I [Ebm] heard it through the
[Ab] grapevine
