   A5
In bed beside you with the curtains drawn
       C#5             C#5
For an hour at least I can pretend we're born
   F#5                           D5           D5
To be together and fate alone is keeping me from you
              A5
But there's a price we pay when we live a lie
        C#5      C#5
And you find it hard to meet my eye
         F#5                           
When you start to dress as we kiss goodbye
      D5             D5
And I know we're coming to

    A5  A5     E5
The end of the affair
    D5   D5 D5
The end of the affair
A5                 A5
I could love you for eternity
    E5
The fact remains you don't belong to me
      D5   D5 D5
 (The end of the affair)

        A5
I could tell the story of my love for you
       C#5             C#5
With a detailed list of every rendez-vous
F#5                           
Discreet hotels we've checked into
D5            D5
How and when and where
      A5
But a cold recital of the facts would miss
    C#5  C#5
The poetry, the way you kiss
   F#5                           
The sense of loss now as come to this
    D5           D5
The bitter sweet despair

    A5  A5     E5
The end of the affair
    D5   D5 D5
The end of the affair
A5                 A5
I could love you for eternity
    E5
The fact remains you don't belong to me
      D5   D5 D5
 (The end of the affair)

         A5
Well I'm old enough to know right from wrong
     C#5    C#5
So I tell myself I should be strong
   F#5                           
In time I'll learn to get along
    D5         D5
Without you being near
      A5
But I know I'm living when I'm by your side
         C#5       C#5
You're a rollercoaster, a fairground ride
   F#5                           
My conscience and desires collide
     D5         D5
Like rockets in midair

    A5  A5     E5
The end of the affair
    D5   D5 D5
The end of the affair
A5                     A5
I could love you till the stars don't shine
    E5
But I'm not yours and you're not mine
      D5   D5 D5
 (The end of the affair)

     D5 D5        D5 D7M9      [ A5 ]
It's o-    ver, it's o     ver,       It's over

 (The end of the affair)

    A5
The first few days are gonna drag real slow
          C#5           C#5
I'm gonna think I see you everywhere I go
          F#5   
These are routine symptoms ex-lovers show
    D5             D5
The battle scars they share
  A5
I already miss your worried smile
C#5     C#5
Guilty secrets weren't your style
        F#5                           
But you had me fooled for a little while
     D5            D5
That makes it hard to bear

    A5  A5     E5
The end of the affair
    D5   D5 D5
The end of the affair
A5                     A5
I could love you till the stars don't shine
    E5
But I'm not yours and you're not mine
      D5   D5 D5
 (The end of the affair)

     D5 D5        D5 D7M4       A5
It's o-    ver, it's o     ver,       It's over
