Intro: C5  Bb5  C5  Bb5

Bb5         C5
All the bedroom lights go out 
       Bb5
As the neighborhood gets quiet 
F5                                       C5
Everything in heaven and earth is almost right 
              C5                            Bb5
But there's a wife who's wondering where her husband could be tonight 
             F5                              C5
And when the phone rang only once she took a dreadful fright 
       C5                                Bb5
Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him
F5                         C5
He was late this time last week 
C5                           Bb5
Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim 
           F5                        G+      G5  G5
'Cause the baby isn't old enough to speak 
G5              E5 Eb5       
There's been a long honeymoon
Bb5                  E5 Eb5        G5 
She thought too late and spoke too soon
           Ab5                             G5
There's no money back guarantee on future happiness 
               E5 Eb5
There's been a long honeymoon 
Db5                    Db5                B5
If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins 
    B5                F#5         B5   A5     G#5       G5
She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this 
Bb5      C5
All the movies and the papers 
            Bb5     
Feature the murders of lonely women 
      F5                             C5
If he isn't in by ten she'll call up her best friend 
C5   
Why doesn't he come home 
             Bb5
Why does her friends phone keep on ringing 
F5                        G+ 
 . . . . Maybe she should just pretend 

**Chorus
