Tuning: standard
Intro:
Bb Bb F# Eb Bb
Bb
They say a woman's a fool for weeping
Bb
A fool to break her own heart
F#
But I can't hold the secret I'm keeping
Eb Bb
I'm breaking apart
Bb
Can't seem to mind my own business
Bb
Whatever I try turns out wrong
F#
I seem like my own false witness
Eb Bb
And I can't go on
Chorus:
Db Bbm
I cover my ears I close my eyes
Bb
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
F#
Telling me lies
Bb
You told me you needed my company
Bb
And I believed in your flattering ways
F#
Told me you needed me forever
Eb Bb
Nearly gave you the rest of my days
Bb
Should've seen you for what you are
Bb
Should never have come back for more
F#
Should've locked up all my silver
Eb Bb
Brought the key back to your door
Chorus:
Db Bbm
I cover my ears I close my eyes
Bb
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
F#
Telling me lies
Interlude:
Gm Eb(I think) Bb
Bb
You don't know what a chance is
Bb
Until you have to seize one
F#
You don't know what a man is
Eb Bb
Until you have to please one
Bb
Don't put your life in the hands of a man
Bb
With a face for every season
F#
Don't waste your time in the arms of a man
Eb Bb
Who's no stranger to treason
Chorus:
Db Bbm
I cover my ears I close my eyes
Bb
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
F#
Telling me lies
Outro:
Db Bbm
I cover my ears I close my eyes
Bb
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
F# Bb
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Bb
Telling me lies
