[Verse 1]
I bought a
[B] toothbrush, some [D#m/A#-668876] toothpaste, a [G#m] flannel for my face [G#m]
[C#/E#-x8666x] Pyjamas, a [C#/E#] hairbrush, new [Em] shoes and a [Em] case .... I
[Bm] said to my re [Bm] flection, let's get [F#m] out of this [F#m] place
([G/A] [G/A] [A] [D]) Passed the
[E] church and the [E] steeple, the [G] laundry on the [G] hill
[B] Billboards and the [B] buildings [A/E] Memories of it [C#/E#] still keep
[Bm/F#-224322] Calling [Bm/F#] and [E] calling ....[E] But
[Bm/F#] forget it all [G/F] I know I [E] will [E/D-xx0100]

[Verse 2]
I'm at the [B] carpark, the [D#m/A#] airport, the [G#m] baggage carousel
[C#/E#] The people keep on [C#/E#] grabbing, ain't [Em] wishing I was [Em] well .. I
[Bm] said, "It's no [Bm] occasion, it's no [F#m] story I can [F#m] tell"
([G/A] [G/A] [A] [D]) At my
[E] bedside, empty [E] pocket, a [G] foot without a [G] sock .. Your
[B] body gets much [B] closer I [A/E] fumble for the [C#/E#] clock
Al [Bm/F#] armed .. .[Bm/F#]...by the se [E] duction [E]
I [Bm/F#] wish [G/F] that it would [E] stop [E/D]

[Verse 3] (half-length)
I bought a
[B] novel, some [D#m/A#] perfume, a [G#m] fortune all for [G#m] you
[C#/E#] But it's not my [C#/E#] conscience that [Em] hates to be un [Em] true .. I
[Bm] asked of my re [Bm] flection, tell me [F#m] what is there to [F#m] do
([G/A] [G/A] [A] [D])
[Chorus]
[B] Tempted by the [B/A] fruit of an [E/G#] other [E]
[B] Tempted but the [B/A] truth is dis [E/G#] covered [E]
What's been [C#] going on [C#]
Now that [F#] you have gone [F#]
There's no [B] other [B/A]
[E/G#] Tempted by the [E] fruit of an [B] other [B/A]
[E/G#] Tempted but the [E] truth is dis [C#m] covered [C#m] Huhhh!
