[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]How many boys, one night stands?
How many lips,
how many hands have [A]held you?
Like I'm [G]holding you to[A]night

[Verse 2]
[D]Too many nights, staying up late
Too much powder and too much paint
No, you [A]can't hide from the turning
[G]of the tide
[A]

[Verse 3]
[Bm]
Did they [D]run their fingers
[G]Up and down your shabby [Bm]dress?
Did they [D]find some tender mo[G]ment
There in [A]your caress?

[Verse 4]
[D]The boys all say, "You look so fine"
They don't come back for a second time
Oh, [A]you can't hide from the [G]turning of

[Verse 5]
Poor little [D]sailor boy
Never [G]set eyes on a woman [Bm]before
Did he [D]tell you that he'd [G]love you
Darling, for [A]evermore?

[Verse 6]
[D]Pretty little shoes, cheap perfume
Creaking bed in a hotel room
Oh, you can[A]'t hide from [G]the turning of the tide
[A]

Did they [D]find some tender mo[G]ment
There in [A]your caress?

[Verse 8]
The [D]boys all say, "You look so fine"
They don't come back
for a second time
Oh, you [A]can't hide from the [G]turning
