EmAll (022000@1)the bedroom lights go out
            DAs (xx0232@1)the neighbourhood gets quiet
   Am (x02210@1)                                   EmEv'rything (022000@1)in heaven and earth is almost right

               EmBut (022000@1)there's a wife who's wond'ring
             DWhere (xx0232@1)her husband could be tonight
              AmAnd (x02210@1)when the phone rang almost once
             EmShe (022000@1)took a dreadful fright

         EmLittle (022000@1)things just seem to undermine
        DHer (xx0232@1)confidence in him
Am (x02210@1)                      EmHe (022000@1)was late this time last week

EmWho (022000@1)can she turn to
           DWhen (xx0232@1)the chance of coincidence is slim
            Am (x02210@1)                     B+  B9 (x2122x@1)B`Cause (x2444x@1)the baby isn't old enough to speak

              G#dim (1201xx@1)  G (320003@1)  DThere's (xx0232@1)been a long honeymoon
               G#dim (1201xx@1)     G (320003@1)      DShe (xx0232@1)thought too late and spoke too soon
             CThere's (x32010@1)no money-back guarantee
             BmOn (x24432@1)future happiness
              G#dim (1201xx@1)  G (320003@1)  FThere's (133211@1)been a long honeymoon

    Ebm (xx4342@1)              BbShe (x1333x@1)never thought her love
      Ebm (xx4342@1)C# (x43121@1)   Cm (x3101x@1)      BmCould (x24432@1)ever be as strong as this

          EmAll (022000@1)the movies and the papers
               DFeature (xx0232@1)the murders of lonely women
       AmIf (x02210@1)he isn't in by ten
               EmShe'll (022000@1)call up her best friend

EmWhy (022000@1)doesn't he come home
               DWhy (xx0232@1)does her friend's phone keep on ringing
Am (x02210@1)                     B+  B9 (x2122x@1)BMaybe (x2444x@1)she should just pretend

              G#dim (1201xx@1)  G (320003@1)  DThere's (xx0232@1)been a long honeymoon
