CAPO:2nd fret (Will then sound in the recorded approx. key of B)

NOTE: The original studio recording is sharp of standard pitch.
Use a chromatic tuner, and tune-up all the strings approx.+30
above standard tuning. Alternatively, play along with a live
version, which is  more likely to be in correct standard pitch.

For keyboard and bass use the transpose function set to [+2]
to view the chords in the key of B, but be aware the original
studio recording will still sound sharp to play along with.

[Verse 1]
D7/F#    D7       A *              E/G#
       I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste,
  F#m            F#m7/E
A flannel for my face,
B7/D#                     Dm7
Pyjamas, a hairbrush, new shoes, and a case,
  Am7                               Em7                F/G
I said to my reflection, "Let's get out of this place------!"
G  C        D7                          F
   Past the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill,
A                             G/D            Gaug/D#    Am7/E
Billboards and the buildings, memories of it still keep calling,
    D                  Am/E        F7/D#           D     D/C
And calling, but for - get it all,        I know I will

[Chorus 1]
A              A/G          D/F#     D
Tempted by the fruit of a - nother,
A                A/G            D/F#     D              B7
Tempted, but the truth is dis - covered,    what's been going on,
             Bm7/E          E7             A       A/G
And now that you have gone,     there's no other,
D/F#           D            A        A/G
Tempted by the fruit of a - nother,
D/F#             D              Bm
Tempted, but the truth is dis - covered

[Verse 2]
    Dsus4  A *           E/G#         F#m             F#m7/E
I'm at the car park, the airport, the baggage carou - sel,
    B7/D#                        Dm7
The people keep on crowding, I'm wishing I was well,
  Am7                              Em7                  F/G
I said, "It's no occasion, it's no story I can tell!"
G   C     D7                       F
    At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock,
     A                        G/D            Gaug/D#
Your body gets much closer, I fumble for the clock,
    Am7/E              D
A - larmed by the se - duction,
  Am7/E  F7/D#                D      D/C
I wish       ...that it would stop

Tempted, but the truth is dis - covered,    what's been going on,

Tempted by the fruit of a - nother,

Tempted, but the truth is dis - covered

I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune all for you,
B7/D#                                 Dm7
       But it's not my concience that hates to be untrue,
  Am7                               Em7                 F/G   G C
I asked of my reflection, "Tell me, what is there to do----?"
