[Verse 1]
Em/G             F#m7          Bm7
 All through the night you telephoned

           Cadd9
 I saw the light blinking red

           Aadd9
 Beside the cradle

Em/G           F#m7              Bm7
 But you don't know how far I've gone

            Cadd9
 Now I must live with the lie

       Aadd9
 That I made
[Pre-Chorus]
 E5  C#m7   Emaj7/G#  F#m7   B/A                   G#m7
 But if     I          call, I know I won't have to say it

 E5     C#m7     Emaj9/G#  F#m7     B/A                    G#m7      Fdim
 You'll hear     my         voice - something is bound to betray it
[Chorus]
Aadd9
 But do people living in Toledo

F#m7
 Know that their name hasn't travelled very well?

D
 And does anybody in Ohio

Bm7
 Dream of that Spanish citadel?

Aadd9
 But it's no use saying that I love you

F#m7
 And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me

D
 For if anyone should look into your eyes

Bm7
 It's not forgiveness that they're going to see. 
[Post-Chorus]
Aadd9    F#m7         Dm(maj7) Dm           Dm6
 You hear... her voice - "How  could you do that?"

Aadd9    F#m7         Dm(maj7) Dm6
 You hear... her voice - "How  could you do that?"

[Verse 2]
Em/G          F#m7           Bm7
 So I walked outside in the bright

              Cadd9
 Sunshine and lovers pass by

            Aadd9
 Smiling and joking

Em/G            F#m7            Bm7
 But they don't know the fool I was

                 Cadd9
 Why should they care what was lost

         Aadd9
 What was broken?
[Pre-Chorus]
 E5  C#m7   Emaj7/G#  F#m7   B/A                   G#m7
 But if     I          call, I know I won't have to say it

 E5     C#m7     Emaj9/G#  F#m7     B/A                    G#m7      Fdim
 You'll hear     my         voice - something is bound to betray it

[Outro]
Aadd9
 But do people living in Toledo

F#m7
 Know that their name hasn't travelled very well?

D
 And does anybody in Ohio

Bm7
 Dream of that Spanish citadel?

Aadd9
 But we still have Florence, Alabama

F#m7
 We don't have Paris, and we don't have Rome 

D
 Or New York, or even Amsterdam

Bm7                                         Aadd9 
 None of those lonely towns will be my home...
