       It's a human   sign                             When things go wrong
       Mutual misunderstanding                         After the fact

      When the scent of her lingers                    And temptations strong
      Sensitivity builds a prison                      In the final act
 
   G      +     +     +    Am +     +     +     Fmaj7     +     +     +    G  +     +     +

             Into the boundry                          Of each married man
             We lose direction                         No stone unturned

       Sweet deceit comes calling                     And negativity    lands
       No tears to damn you                           When jealousy burns
