Emmylou Harris

  • B
  • Bm
  • Bsus
  • D
  • E
  • F#
Continues after the ad
Key:
B They 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
E B I'm breaking apart
B Can't seem to mind my own business Whatever I try turns out wrong
F# I seem like my own false witness
E B And I can't go on
D Bm I cover my ears, I close my eyes
B Bsus B Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies Telling me lies
B You told me you needed my company
Continues after the ad
And I believed in your flattering ways
F# You told me you needed me forever
E B Nearly gave you the rest of my days
B Should've seen you for what you are Should never have come back for more
F# Should've locked up all my silver
E B Brought the key back to your door
D Bm I cover my ears, I close my eyes
B Bsus B Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies Telling me lies
B You don't know what a chance is Until you have to seize one
F# You don't know what a man is
E B Until you have to please one
B Don't put your life in the hands of a man
B With a face for every season
F# Don't waste your time in the arms of a man
E B Who's no stranger to treason
D Bm I cover my ears, I close my eyes
B Bsus B Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies Telling me lies
B I cover myears, I close my eyes Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies Telling me lies
