Gm                               Eb, C                 F
I wore my satin dress tonight, my silver high-heeled shoes
Gm                                    C                 F                                 D
I dabbed my skin with sweet perfume, the one you helped me choose
Gm                                 Bbm        F                     Dm
I did my hair the way you like, up in a simple twist
Ab                                  Fm             Dm                  Gm, C    
You touched my face to take away an eyelash that I missed

Gm                                 C           F                        D
You said Lets not go out tonight, lets not go into town
Gm                                  E              Am                         D
And as you kissed my neck, I said We cant let people down
Gm                                    D           Dm
And now the evenings over, I dont know what to do
Ab                                             E              Bb
I watched two people fall in love, and one of them...
C
Was you


Gm, Bbm, C,


F                       Gm                        C
And now we’re lying only inches apart
F               Gm, Bbm,                       F
Though it might be twenty miles
Gm                                            C
And its a quiet kind of dying inside
F                       Ab       Bb, C
As I see your radiant smiles
                D                         Am              Gm
The air is loaded with things we cannot say
                F                                      E        F
I try to hold you, but you sigh and turn away
                E                  Am Bb
I tell myself we're not estranged
Ab                      C                       F
But in one evening, everything's changed


F, Gm, C, 


Gm                                   Eb, C                     F                D
You held my hand when we walked in, each detail I recall
Gm                                C                       F                D
I moved around the party making small-talk, very small
Gm                               Bbm                    F                 Dm
You were soon in conversation with a girl I didn't know
Ab                                   Fm                   Dm       Gm    C
She reminded me of someone else: me, ten years ago


(Cont. of chords throughout)


I found you still there two hours later, long since time to leave
I wonder, did you know I saw her hand upon your sleeve?
Then you drove home or was it me? The journey is a blur
I watched tow people fall in love, and one of them...
Was her

And now were lying only inches apart
Though it might be twenty miles
And its a quiet kind of dying inside
As I see your radiant smiles
The air is loaded with things we cannot say
I try to hold you, but you sigh and turn away
I tell myself were not estranged
But in one evening, everythings changed

And now two people lie beside each other in the dark
One sleeps, the other cannot, and dissects each chance remark
The satin dress upon its hanger shimmers like a ghost
To illustrate the transience of things wed love the most
The silver shoes are in their box, not kicked aside in haste
And as you turn the lights off, your kiss is strangely chaste
Now our familiar sanctuary feels terrible and new
I watched two people fall in love, and one of them was you

And now were lying only...

And its a quiet kind of...

The air is loaded with things we cannot say...

I tell myself...

...Everythings changed
