[Intro]
B B/A E/G# E / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / (x2)
[Verse 1]
B D#m/A# G#m I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face C#/F Em Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case Bm F#m G/A A I said to my reflection, "let's get out of this place" D E G Passed the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill B Billboards and the buildings A/E C#/F Memories of it still keep Bm/F# E Calling and calling Bm/F# G/F E E/D But forget it all I know I will
[Chorus]
B B/A E/G# E Tempted by the fruit of another B B/A E/G# E Tempted but the truth is discovered C# What's been going on F# Now that you have gone B B/A There's no other E/G# E B B/A Tempted by the fruit of another E/G# E C#m Em Tempted but the truth is discovered
[Verse 2]
I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel
The people keep on grabbing, ain't 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
[Chorus]
B B/A E/G# E Tempted by the fruit of another B B/A E/G# E Tempted but the truth is discovered C# What's been going on F# Now that you have gone B B/A There's no other E/G# E B B/A Tempted by the fruit of another E/G# E C#m Em Tempted but the truth is discovered
[Verse 3] (half-length)
E B D#m/A# G#m I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune all for you C#/F Em But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue Bm F#m G/A A D I asked of my reflection, "tell me what is there to do"
