(Intro )
FA# / FA#m / FA# / FA#m
(First Verse:)
FA#
Drawing back the curtains,
FA#m
sluggish city daylight in the afternoon...
FA#
Here's that special silence,
FA#m
just before you walk out of the hotel room.
LA DO#
Each time we're so close I assume
FA#m DO#
that we'll never be again -
A E F#5 (no chord)
oh, how long must we pretend
(Second Verse - same chords)
A casual affair is all that you can spare
from your emotional change;
A calendar of meetings,
strangers on the street
the best we ever arrange.
Now I just can't stand all the pain,
all the constant make and mend;
oh how long must we pretend
that we're just good friends?
FA#m DO#
I gave you my devotion,
FA#m SI
hiding nothing up my sleeve -
MI SOL#m
If I walked clean out of your life
DO#m FA#m
would you even notice me leave?
DO#
So much tangled-up emotion,
FA#m SI
should I stay or should I go?
MI SOL#m
If I walked clean out of your life
DO#m FA#m
how long would it take you to know?
(no chord)
Are we such good friends?
(On original release include the 4 lyric lines, on The Love Songs
play them instrumentally - Same chords)
You used to say 'I love you',
you used to say 'You make me feel alive and young';
now we're just a habit, a flavour, one a month,
to titillate your tongue.
How sordid this has become
as the means approach the end -
Oh, how long can we pretend
FA#m DO#
I gave you my devotion,
FA#m SI
hiding nothing up my sleeve -
E (add choir... G#m
If I walked clean out of your life
DO#m FA#m
would you even notice me leave
FA#m DO#
So much tangled-up emotion,
FA#m RE
should I stay or should I go?
SOL SIm
If I walked clean out of your life
Em D(?) Am E Am D
how long would it take you to know?
SOL SIm
If I walked clean out of you life
MIm LAm
how long would it take you to know
(no chord)
Are we such good friends?
