BThey say a woman's a fool for weeping
A fool to break her own heart
F#But I can't hold the secret I'm keeping
EI'm breaking aBpart
BCan't seem to mind my own business
Whatever I try turns out wrong
F#I seem like my own false witness
And EI can't go Bon
DI cover my ears, I close my Bmeyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me BlieBsussB  
Telling me lies
BYou told me you needed my company
And I believed in your flattering ways
F#You told me you needed me forever
Nearly Egave you the rest of my Bdays
BShould've seen you for what you are
Should never have come back for more
F#Should've locked up all my silver
Brought the Ekey back to your dBoor
DI cover my ears, I close my Bmeyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me BliesBsus  B  
Telling me lies
BYou don't know what a chance is
Until you have to seize one
F#You don't know what a man is
EUntil you have to please Bone
BDon't put your life in the hands of a man
BWith a face for every season
F#Don't waste your time in the arms of a man
Who's no Estranger to Btreason
DI cover my ears, I close my Bmeyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me BliesBsus  B  
Telling me lies
BI cover myears, I close my eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Telling me lies
