Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 2]

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case
I said to my reflection, let's get out of this place
Passed the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still keep calling and calling
But forget it all I know I will

/ A C#m F#m - / B - Dm - / Am - Em - F GC / D - F - / A A7 /
   / G B Am - D - / Am F D - /

{Refrain}
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

/ A A7 D - / / B - E - / A A7 / D - A A7 / D - Bm - Dm - /

I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel
The people keep on writing, and wishing I was well
I said, "It's no occasion, it's no story I can tell"
At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock, alarmed by the seduction
I wish that it would stop

{Refrain}

I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune all for you
But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue
I asked of my reflection, tell me what is there to do

/ A C#m F#m - / B - Dm - / Am - Em - F GC /

{Refrain}
