[VERSE 1]

[G6] All through the [F#m7]night you tele[Bm7]phoned
I saw the [Cadd9]light blinking red
Beside the[Aadd9] cradle
[G6] But you don't [F#m7]know how far I've [Bm7]gone
Now I must [Cadd9]live with the lie
That I[Aadd9] made

[PRE-CHORUS]

But if I[F#m7] call, [B/A]I know I won't have to[G#m7] say it
You'll hear m[F#m7]y voice - [B/A]something is bound to b[G#m7]etray [Fdim]it

[CHORUS]

[Aadd9] But do people living in Toledo
[F#m7] Know that their name hasn't traveled very well?
[D] And does anybody in Ohio
[Bm7] Dream of that Spanish citadel?
[Aadd9] But it's no use saying that I love you
[F#m7] And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me
[D] For if anyone should look into your eyes
[Bm7] It's not forgiveness that they're going to see.

[POST-CHORUS]

[Aadd9] You hear[F#m7] ... her voice[Dm(maj7)] - "How [Dm]could you do [Dm6]that?"
[Aadd9] You hear[F#m7] ... her voice[Dm(maj7)] - "How [Dm6]could you do that?"

[VERSE 2]

[G6] So I walked [F#m7]outside in the [Bm7]bright
Sunshine and [Cadd9]lovers pass by
Smiling and[Aadd9] joking
[G6] But they don't [F#m7]know the fool I [Bm7]was
Why should they [Cadd9]care what was lost
What was[Aadd9] broken?

[PRE-CHORUS]

But if I[F#m7] call, [B/A]I know I won't have to[G#m7] say it
You'll hear m[F#m7]y voice - [B/A]something is bound to b[G#m7]etray [Fdim]it

[CHORUS]

[Aadd9] But do people living in Toledo
[F#m7] Know that their name hasn't traveled very well?
[D] And does anybody in Ohio
[Bm7] Dream of that Spanish citadel?
[Aadd9] But it's no use saying that I love you
[F#m7] And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me
[D] For if anyone should look into your eyes
[Bm7] It's not forgiveness that they're going to see.

[OUTRO]

[Aadd9] But do people living in Toledo
[F#m7] Know that their name hasn't traveled very well?
[D] And does anybody in Ohio
[Bm7] Dream of that Spanish citadel?
[Aadd9] But we still have Florence, Alabama
[F#m7] We don't have Paris, and we don't have Rome
[D] Or New York, or even Amsterdam
[Bm7] None of those lonely towns will be my home.[Aadd9] ..
