B B/A E/G# E

/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / [2x]

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

[repeat chorus]

verse 3 [half-length]

I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune over you

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"

[repeat chorus to fade]
