Verse
C#m B A
Only a fool would step away from it
C#m B A D
The song so sweet on the siren's lips
C#m B A E
How do you lie straight with a viper's tongue?
There's a little run after 'tongue' which is the same as the last five notes in the intro
For the lines with A E/G# F#m and E they are picked, shown just below

A E/G# F#m E
I'm at a loss to explain
A E/G# F#m E
Just how easy you found me to replace
C#m B A E
Now that the naked truth is out on display
Chorus
B C#m
Could you explain, why did you gravitate?
A E
Was something about to break?
B C#m
Take what you need to take
A E
Just silently walk away
A E B
How could you be so reckless?
A E B
Could you explain, how could you be so reckless?
