Verse 1:
  G   G/F#   G/F       E7   
Oh no, don't, say those same 
    Am
idle lies;
 B7                 Em   Eaug
I-I've heard them be-fore,    
 Em/D
  oh, oh,
C           B7    Em       G   
This fool... who left his 
             Asus4  A
heart on an early train,

Wont buy no more.

Verse 2:
  G   G/F#   G/F       E7

  oh,
C                 B7        
I didn't want to have to be

Oh, it was not so long a-go, 
         Am              C
since you wandered out of here.
     Em            D          
To be-come a silver model of a 
Am          C
city on the air.
        Am                 
So don't choke me with your 
C                  Am       
lies, because this man has 
   C
open eyes;
          G    G/F#
And I can see...
G/F    E7         Am       B7 
I can see, I can tell, oh oh,
   Em  Eaug Em/D
oh oh, mmm,  mmm.
