C              Bb           C	Bb
  It's cold outside
C                         Bb               C	Bb
  And the paint's peeling off of my walls
C                  Bb       C	Bb
  There's a man outside
C                 Bb                  C        Bb
  In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

  Now the light fades out
C                            Bb                   C	Bb
  And I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like this
C                        Bb        C	Bb
  There's a knock on the door
C                Bb                   C            Bb
  And just for a second I thought I remembered you

So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals
and S.U's
And things that I just don't understand

Like a white lie that night
or a slight touch at times touch at times
I don't think I meant anything to you

C               Bb         C	Bb
  So I open the door
C                            Bb                  C	Bb
  It's the `friend' that I'd left in the hallway
C             Bb           C	Bb
  "Please sit down"
C              Bb                        C	Bb
  A candle lit shadow on a wall near the bed

C                    Bb         C	Bb
  You know I hate to ask
C           Bb                  C	Bb
  But, are `friends' electric?
C                       Bb      C	Bb
  You see, mine's broke down
C                 Bb      C	Bb
  And now I've no one to love

So I find out your reason
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts
And I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
So it's time to leave
You see it meant everything to me
