[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
 
 
[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 3] (half-length)
 
                     B          D#m/A#     G#m
        I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune over 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"
 
 
[Chorus] (to fade)
 
         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
