And does anybody in Ohio Dream of that Spanish citadel? Aadd9 But it’s no use saying that I love you And how that girl really didn’t mean a thing to me For if anyone should look into your eyes It’s not forgiveness that they’re going to see. [Post-Chorus] You hear... her voice - "How could you do that?" You hear... her voice - "How could you do that?" [Instrumental] | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | [Verse 2] So I walked outside in the bright Cadd9 Sunshine and lovers pass by Aadd9 Smiling and joking But they don’t know the fool I was Cadd9 Why should they care what was lost Aadd9 What was broken? [Pre-Chorus] But if I call I know I won’t have to say it You’ll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it [Chorus] Aadd9 But do people living in Toledo Know that their name hasn’t travelled very well? And does anybody in Ohio Dream of that Spanish citadel? Aadd9 But it’s no use saying that I love you And how that girl really didn’t mean a thing to me For if anyone should look into your eyes It’s not forgiveness that they’re going to see. [Outro] Aadd9 But do people living in Toledo Know that their name hasn’t travelled very well? And does anybody in Ohio Dream of that Spanish citadel? Aadd9 But we still have Florence Alabama We don’t have Paris and we don’t have Rome Or New York or even Amsterdam Bm7 Aadd9 None of those lonely towns will be my home... [End]
