Emmylou Harris

^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 I'm breaking a ^B part
^B Can't seem to mind my own business
Whatever I try turns out wrong
^F# I seem like my own false witness
And ^E I can't go ^B on
^D I cover my ears, I close my ^Bm eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me ^B lie ^Bsus s ^B
Telling me lies
^B You told me you needed my company
And I believed in your flattering ways
^F# You told me you needed me forever
Nearly ^E gave you the rest of my ^B 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
Brought the ^E key back to your d ^B oor
^D I cover my ears, I close my ^Bm eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me ^B lies ^{Bsus B}
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 Until you have to please ^B 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
Who's no ^E stranger to ^B treason
^D I cover my ears, I close my ^Bm eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me ^B lies ^{Bsus B}
Telling me lies
^B I cover my ears, I close my eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Telling me lies
