First verse (picked)
B Fm E
Late at night in good company,
B Fm E
we talked of idleness and injury
B Fm E
Problems and feelings shared
B Fm E
now more than halved
B Fm
The stereo, two rooms away
E
repeated songs we’d hear again
B Fm
and every song became
E
a song about love
G# Fm
You were hesitant, and I was naive
G# Fm
I was adamant, and you had to concede
E
We were close,
G#
but not as close as we
Fm
might have come to be
B Fm
One thing led to another,
E
as the song always goes,
B Fm
and we lay there in bed
E
down to the last of our clothes
B Fm E
And by the way I tried to say I love you,
B Fm E
I held you close and gave you sympathy,
B Fm E
such little thanks for all you did for me
B Fm E
But mine’s a caring heart,
B Fm E
and yours was broken
B Fm
The stereo, two rooms away
E
repeated songs we’d hear again
B Fm
and every song became
E
a song about love
B Fm
One thing led to another,
E
as the song always goes,
B Fm
and we lay there in bed
E
down to the last of our clothes
B Fm E
And by the way I tried to say I love you,
B Fm
but the words got jumbled up
E
and I just kissed you again
B Fm E
And it was over before it started,
B
and we parted
