Tempted, by Squeeze.
CAPO on the Second Fret.

Introduction:    

               			    
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
   			   
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case
                                                
I said to my reflection, let's get out of this place
  	    				  
Passed the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill
		   
Billboards and the buildings
        	                        
Memories of it still keep calling and calling
                             
But forget it all I know I will

-----

Chorus:

				
Tempted by the fruit of another
				    
Tempted but the truth is discovered
                             
What's been going on now that you have gone
              
There's no other
                      
Tempted by the fruit of another
		 		      
Tempted but the truth is discovered

-----

               	 	      
I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel
   			        
The people keep on writing, and 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

-----

Chorus, repeated:

				
Tempted by the fruit of another
				    
Tempted but the truth is discovered
                             
What's been going on now that you have gone
              
There's no other
                      
Tempted by the fruit of another
		 		      
Tempted but the truth is discovered

-----

            		 	   
I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune all for you
   			        
But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue
                                                   
I asked of my reflection, tell me what is there to do

REPEAT CHORUS.
