"Tempted"
(Difford - Tilbrook)
intro:
B B/A E/G# E
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / [2x]
verse 1:
B D#m/A# G#m
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
C#/F 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#/F
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:
I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel
The people keep on grabbing, ain't wishing I was well
I said, "It's no occasion, it's no story I can tell"
At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock
Alarmed by the seduction
I wish that it would stop
[repeat chorus]
verse 3 [half-length]
I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune over you
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"
[repeat chorus to fade]
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SQUEEZE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
