B 
They say a woman's a fool for weeping 

A fool to break her own heart 
F# 
But I can't hold the secret I'm keeping 
E             B 
I'm breaking apart 
B 
Can't seem to mind my own business 

Whatever I try turns out wrong 
F# 
I seem like my own false witness 
    E          B 
And I can't go on 
D                           Bm 
I cover my ears, I close my eyes 
                                          B  Bsus  B 
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies 

Telling me lies 
B 
You told me you needed my company 

And I believed in your flattering ways 
F# 
You told me you needed me forever 
       E                       B 
Nearly gave you the rest of my days 
B 
Should've seen you for what you are 

Should never have come back for more 
F# 
Should've locked up all my silver 
            E                 B 
Brought the key back to your door 
D                           Bm 
I cover my ears, I close my eyes 
                                          B   Bsus  B 
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies 

Telling me lies 

B 
You don't know what a chance is 

Until you have to seize one 
F# 
You don't know what a man is 
E                        B 
Until you have to please one 
B 
Don't put your life in the hands of a man 
B 
With a face for every season 
F# 
Don't waste your time in the arms of a man 
         E           B 
Who's no stranger to treason 
D                           Bm 
I cover my ears, I close my eyes 
                                          B   Bsus B 
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies 

Telling me lies 
B 
I cover myears, I close my eyes 
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies 
Telling me lies
