[intro]
 
D
 
[verse]
 
D
How many boys, one night stands, how many lips, how many hands,
D     A                  G             A
have held you, like I'm holding you tonight?
D
Too many nights staying up late, too much powder and too much paint,
D        A                   G              A D
oh, you can't hide from the turning of the tide.
 
[verse]
 
Bm        D                G
Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress?
Bm        D                G               A
Did they find some tender moment there in your caress?
     D
The boys all say "You look so fine", they dont come back for a second time,
         A                   G              A D
oh, you can't hide from the turning of the tide.

Bm            D          G
Poor little sailor boy, never set eyes on a woman before.
Bm                         D                   A
Did he tell you that he'd love you darling, forevermore?
D
Pretty little shoes, cheap perfume, creaking bed in a hotel room,
         A                   G              A D
oh, you can't hide from the turning of the tide.
