Intro:
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:
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]
