   A
In bed beside you with the curtains drawn
       C#74/Ab             C#m7/Ab
For an hour at least I can pretend we're born
   F#m                           D7M           D6
To be together and fate alone is keeping me from you
              A
But there's a price we pay when we live a lie
        C#74/Ab      C#m7/Ab
And you find it hard to meet my eye
         F#m                           
When you start to dress as we kiss goodbye
      D7M             D6
And I know we're coming to

The end of the affair
A4                 A
I could love you for eternity
    E/G#
The fact remains you don't belong to me

 (The end of the affair)

        A
I could tell the story of my love for you
       C#74/Ab             C#m7/Ab
With a detailed list of every rendez-vous
F#m                           
Discreet hotels we've checked into
D7M            D6
How and when and where
      A
But a cold recital of the facts would miss
    C#74/Ab  C#m7/Ab
The poetry, the way you kiss
   F#m                           
The sense of loss now as come to this
    D7M           D6
The bitter sweet despair

         A
Well I'm old enough to know right from wrong
     C#74/Ab    C#m7/Ab
So I tell myself I should be strong
   F#m                           
In time I'll learn to get along
    D7M         D6
Without you being near
      A
But I know I'm living when I'm by your side
         C#74/Ab       C#m7/Ab
You're a rollercoaster, a fairground ride
   F#m                           
My conscience and desires collide
     D7M         D6
Like rockets in midair

The end of the affair
    D/F#   D6/F# D9
The end of the affair
A4                     A
I could love you till the stars don't shine
    E/G#
But I'm not yours and you're not mine
      D/F#   D6/F# D9
 (The end of the affair)

    A
The first few days are gonna drag real slow
          C#74/Ab           C#m7/Ab
I'm gonna think I see you everywhere I go
          F#m   
These are routine symptoms ex-lovers show
    D7M             D6
The battle scars they share
  A
I already miss your worried smile
C#74/Ab     C#m7/Ab
Guilty secrets weren't your style
        F#m                           
But you had me fooled for a little while
     D7M            D6
That makes it hard to bear
