Intro:

G  G/f#  G/F  E7, Am  B7, Em  D

Verse 1:

G    G/f#   G/F       E7        Am
 Oh, don't, say those same idle lies;
  B7                 Em    E+  Em/D
I-I've heard them be-fore,      oh, oh,
C         B7      Em       G                 Asus4  A
 This foo-ool who left his heart on an early train,
            D     B7, Em  D
Wont buy no more.

Verse 2:

   G   G/f#   G/F       E7           Am
Oh no, don't, use those same weeping eyes;
  B7                Em   E+  Em/D
I-I'll wipe them no more, oh, oh,
C                B7         Em
 I didnt want to have to be cruel,
        G
But the truth must be said,
    Asus4  A              D     B7, Em  D
And you,    ain't heard e-nough.

Chorus 1:

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