 Da da da da da, da da da da.

Verse 1:

     Em7      Am                         G      Fmaj7
Call up, ring once hang up the phone, to let me know made it home;
           Em7           Dm7         Em7       G  Am
Don't want nothing to be wrong, with part-time lo-vers.

   Em7        Am                           G       Fmaj7
If she's with me I'll blink the lights, to let you know tonight's the night,
    Em7    Dm7     Em7       G  Am
For me and you; my part-time lo-ver.

Chorus 1:

Gm  C9   F                         F/G  C
 We are, undercover passion on the run.
    Am7  Dm7                  Em F#m7b5 G Am
Cha-sing love, up against the su  -u   -u-un.
Gm  C9  F                           F/G    C
 We are strangers by day, lovers by night.
                Dm6                   Esus4
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right.

Verse 2:

            Am                               G       Fmaj7
If I'm with friends and we should meet, just pass me by; don't even speak.
Em7                   Dm7          Em7       G  Am
 Know the word's "dis-creet", with part-time lo-vers.

    Em7        Am                   G      Fmaj7
But if there's some emergency; have a male friend to ask for me,
   Em7            Dm7                      Em7       G   Am
So then she won't peek it's really you; my part-time lo-ver.

Chorus 2:

Gm  C9   F                         F/G  C
 We are, undercover passion on the run.
    Am7  Dm7                  Em F#m7b5 G Am
Cha-sing love, up against the su  -u   -u-un.
Gm  C9  F                           F/G    C
 We are strangers by day, lovers by night.
                Dm6                   Esus4
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right.

Interlude:

Am            G
 Da da da da, da da da da,
Fmaj7               Em7
 Da da da da da, da da da da.
Dm7        Em7                Am7      Dm7
 Da da da, da da da da, da da da da da.

Chorus 3:

Gm  C9   F                         F/G  C
 We are, undercover passion on the run.
    Am7  Dm7                  Em F#m7b5 G Am
Cha-sing love, up against the su  -u   -u-un.
Gm  C9  F                           F/G    C
 We are strangers by day, lovers by night.
                Dm6                   Esus4
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right.

Verse 3:

              Am                           G          Fmaj7
I've got some-thing that I must tell; last night some-one rang our doorbell,
    Em7        Dm7     Em7       G  Am
And it was not you; my part-time lo-ver.

Verse 5:

           Am                           G      Fmaj7
And then a man called our exchange, but didn't want to leave his name.
  Em7                         Dm7      Em7       G  Am
I guess that two can play the game; of part-time lo-vers.

Coda:

            Em7       G   Am
You and me; part-time lov-ers.
                 Em7       G   Am
But, she and he; part-time lov-ers.
