[Intro]

B    B/A    E/G#    E    (x2)

[Verse 1]

                  B                            D#m/A#        G#m
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
C#/E#                                 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#/E#
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]

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

[Ulangi Chorus]

[Verse 3] 

                  B                   D#m/A#     G#m
I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune all for you
C#/E#                                        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"

[Ulangi Chorus]

[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
B                          B/A       E/G#   E
Tempted by the fruit of another
B                           B/A        E/G#        E
Tempted but the truth is discovered...
