I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face

  C#                      Em
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case

  Bm                                F#m               G/A   A   D
I said to my reflection, "Let's get out of this pla - ace"

         E                           G
Pass the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill

    B
The billboards and the buildings

A/E            A#/F       D/F#        E
Memories of it still keep calling and calling

       D/F#       G7/F         E    E7
But forget it all     I know I will

B              B/A       E/Ab   E
Tempted by the fruit of another

B               B/A         E/Ab    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/Ab           E         B     B/A
Tempted by the fruit of another

E/Ab            E           C#m      Em
Tempted but the truth is discovered

           B            B/A          Abm
I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel

    C#                             Em
The people keep on grabbing, ain't wishing I was well

  Bm                               F#m         G/A   A   D
I said, "It's no occasion, it's no story I can tell"

B  x24442    D/F#  2x0232


      E                        G
At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock

     B
Your body gets much closer

  A/E            A#/F       
I fumble for the clock

 D/F#            E
Alarmed by the seduction,

  D/F#               E    E7
I wish that it would stop


[repeat CHORUS]

           B           B/A        Abm
I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune over you

    C#                          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-oo"
