[B] [E] [Bm]
[E] I bought [B] a toothbrush, [D#m] some toothpaste, [G#m] a flannel for my face, [C#] pajamas, a [G] hairbrush,
new shoes and a case.
[D] I said to my reflection, [A] let's get out of this [G]
place.
[A] [D] [E] Passed the church and steeple, [G] the laundry on the hill, [B] billboards and the buildings,
[A]
memories of it still [D] keep calling [E] and calling.
[D] But forget it [G] all, I [E] know I will.
[G#] [Bm] Tempted by the fruit of [E]

discovered.

[D] I said it's no occasion, [F#m] it's no story, I'm in hell.
[G]
[A] My [D] [E] bedside, empty pocket, [G] foot without a sock.
[B] Your body gets much closer, [A] I fumble for [C#] the clock, [D] along by the [E] seduction.

stop.
