AIn (x02220@1)bed beside you with the curtains drawn
       C#7sus4/Ab             C#m7/Ab
For an hour at least I can pretend we're born
   F#m (244222@1)                         Dmaj7 (xx0222@1)         D6To (xx04xx@1)be together and fate alone is keeping me from you
              ABut (x02220@1)there's a price we pay when we live a lie
        C#7sus4/Ab      C#m7/Ab
And you find it hard to meet my eye
         F#m (244222@1)                         
When you start to dress as we kiss goodbye
      Dmaj7 (xx0222@1)           D6And (xx04xx@1)I know we're coming to

      D/F# (200232@1) D6/F# Dsus2 (xx0230@1)(The end of the affair)

AI (x02220@1)could tell the story of my love for you
       C#7sus4/Ab             C#m7/Ab
With a detailed list of every rendez-vous
F#m (244222@1)                         
Discreet hotels we've checked into
Dmaj7 (xx0222@1)          D6How (xx04xx@1)and when and where
      ABut (x02220@1)a cold recital of the facts would miss
    C#7sus4/Ab  C#m7/Ab
The poetry, the way you kiss
   F#m (244222@1)                         
The sense of loss now as come to this
    Dmaj7 (xx0222@1)         D6The (xx04xx@1)bitter sweet despair

AWell (x02220@1)I'm old enough to know right from wrong
     C#7sus4/Ab    C#m7/Ab
So I tell myself I should be strong
   F#m (244222@1)                         
In time I'll learn to get along
    Dmaj7 (xx0222@1)       D6Without (xx04xx@1)you being near
      ABut (x02220@1)I know I'm living when I'm by your side
         C#7sus4/Ab       C#m7/Ab
You're a rollercoaster, a fairground ride
   F#m (244222@1)                         
My conscience and desires collide
     Dmaj7 (xx0222@1)       D6Like (xx04xx@1)rockets in midair
