Tell Tale Signs

G
Why do you pour the cream and sugar in my coffee
                          D                     G
About these cigarettes  I don’t believe they’re mine
                             G7          C
that I’ll be standing in the shadow of a stranger
         G                D                  G
more and more I see these scatters tell tale signs


[Verse 2]
G
There were teardrops on your pillow again this morning woman
                         D               G
but your problem girl is someone on your mind
Continues after the ad
                        G7            C
I’m afraid to come home early without warning
         G                D                  G
more and more I see these scatters tell tale signs


[Chorus]
C                                    G
Someone else beside myself knows the direction
       D7                                 G
to the sweetest thing that once was mine alone
         C                           G
somebody else holds the key to my possession
       A                                D
Lord I lost the only treasure I’ve ever known


[Verse 3]
G
The telephone is ringing, I’ll get it darling
                          D             G
but I know there’ll be no answer on the line
                       G7           C
just the presence of a silent total stranger
              G                D                  G
cos’ more and more I see these scatters tell tale signs
    C        G                D                  G
yes more and more I see these scatters tell tale signs
