[Em] [A]
[D] [Em] All [F#m]
[Em] through [F#m] the night you [D] telephone I saw [C] the [G] light blinking red beside [A] the cradle
[Em] But you [A] don't know how [Bm] far I've gone Now I [G] must live with the lies [A] that I made
[E] [C#m] But [G#m] if [F#m] I call [B] I know I won't [G#m] have to say
[E] [G#m] You'll hear [F#m] my voice [B] Something is bound [G#m] to betray
[F] [A] But do people living in [F#m] Toledo Know that their name isn't traveled very well
[D] And does anybody in Ohio [Bm]
Dream of that Spanish citadel
[A] But it's no use saying that I love you And now that [F#m] love really didn't mean a thing to [D] me
For if anyone should look into your [Bm] eyes It's not forgiveness that they're gonna see
[A]
You'll [F#m] hear her [Dm] voice How could you do that
[A]
You'll hear [F#m] her [Dm] voice How could you do that
[Em]
So [F#m] [D] [Em]
[F#m] [Em]
I [A] walk outside and [D] look bright Sunshine [C] and lovers pass [G] by
[A] Smiling and choking [Em]
But they [F#m] don't know the [Bm] fool I was
Why should [C] they care what was [G] lost What [A] was broken
[E]
But if [F#m] I call I [B] know that you're bound to guess it
[E] You'll [G#m] hear [F#m] my voice [B] And I won't need [G#m] to face [F] it
[A] But do people living in Toledo [F#m] Know that their name hasn't traveled very [D] well
And does anybody in Ohio Dream of that Spanish citadel
[Bm] [A] But it's no use [E] saying that I love [F#m] you And now that love really didn't mean a thing to [D] me
For if anyone should look into your [Bm] eyes It's not forgiveness that they're gonna see
[A] But we still have Florence, Alabama [E] We [F#m] don't have Paris and we don't have Rome
[D] Or New York or even Amsterdam
[Bm]
And those [F#m] lonely towns will be my home
[A] [N]
