Tempted
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 [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]
