capo on 2nd Fret 
C5    G5                 A5        F5       G5       C5 
Some times you can say more in a drunken hour or so 
          G5           A5         F5       G5     C5 
Than some people get across in a life of lying low 
    G5                  A5           F5       G5      C5 
Sometimes you can feel more for someone you barely kissed 
          G5             A5           F5      G5        C5 
You don't see it at the time and the moment that you missed 
 
Refr?o -------------
      G5       A5 
For a short time 
        F5        G5 
She was standing there 
    C5               G5        
And you saw her and she saw you 
    A5             F5      G5      C5 
And you recall the colour of her hair 
      G5      A5 
For a long time 
             F5          G5 
You've never thought of her 
     C5                G5 
Then you hear she was gone for good 
    A5                  F5 
You might of cried then if you could 
      G5 
Would have looked foolish if you did 
    F5                                 G5 
Somewhere the tear is falling in your mind 
      F5 G5   C5 
For a short time
--------------------
 
          G5             A5          F5     G5        C5 
There's a photo of your gang on the night she hung about 
         G5              A5           F5          G5      C5 
And your looking like a wag got your fat tongue poking out 
          G5                A5             F5        G5  C5 
But she's no-where to been seen you won't spot her anywhere 
       G5                A5               F5       G5           C5 
It was her who took the picture you were looking straight at her 
 
Chorus 
 

N C     C5             G5                A5              F5      G5 
Tell me how long is a short time is it longer than two hours 
     C5               G5             A5             F5     G5 
Or a bit less than a weekend is it shorter than a year 
          C5                G5                 A5              F5      G5 
Is it the time it takes to not complete your business with a person 
       C5                  G5             A5       F5       G5    C5 
With a friend you make it transit, to a daughter held so dear 
 
Chorus 
 

      G5              A5        F5      G5        C5 
Faces come and faces go in the ragged life you lead 
         G5              A5        F5         G5        C5 
You just file them all away you recall them when you need 
       G5              A5          F5       G5    C5 
When a file just disappears you report it as a crime 
            G5                A5          F5 G5   C5 
Against yourself against the world for a short time
