She was married to somebody else
I was lonely and lived by myself
E Bm F#m F#m7
Baby, that's a battle you can't win
E A
So we met and we started the clock
Did that help -- no it did not
E Bm F#m F#m7
But I guess I knew that going in
Dsus2 A/C# E/B A/C#
Dsus2 A/C# E/B A/C#
And watched the sweeping second hand
Dsus2 D Dsus2 D Dmaj7
But at least I was calm
A E Bm6 D(1stx Dsus2 D Dmaj7)
On the road to the big observatory where the planets were hung
And the stars swung around the second story and we stumbled upon
A F#m
A room where a luminous moon was waning
Dsus2 D Dmaj7 Dsus2 A/C# E/B A/C#
And I knew I had leapt into the great beyond
Dsus2 D D A/C# Bm
But at least I was calm
E A
Fun is fun, but when push comes to shove
When it's done, we deny it was love
E Bm F#m F#m7
She'll say Jim -- I think it's a mistake
E A
And the room where we looked at the sky
Will be there with its telescope eye
E Bm F#m F#m7
Just another sentry kept awake
Dsus2 A/C# E/B A/C#
Dsus2 A/C# E/B A/C#
Watching over silverlake
Dsus2 D Dsus2 D Dmaj7
But at least I was calm
A E Bm6 D(1stx Dsus2 D Dmaj7)
On the road to the big observatory where the planets were hung
And the stars swung around the second story and we stumbled upon
A F#m
A room where a luminous moon was waning
Dsus2 D Dmaj7 Dsus2 A/C# E/B A/C#
And I knew I had leapt into the great beyond
Dsus2 D D A/C# Bm
But at least I was calm
F#m Bm E Esus4 E Esus4
And you'll be glad to leave with dignity intact
She won't be sad so much as matter-of-fact
Bm F#m D D A/C# Bm F#
And it was doomed and hopeless as a suicide pact

But at least I was calm
A E Bm6 D(1stx Dsus2 D Dmaj7)
On the road to the big observatory where the planets were hung
And the stars swung around the second story and we stumbled upon
A F#m
A room where a luminous moon was waning
Dsus2 D Dmaj7 Dsus2 A/C# E/B A/C#
And I knew I had leapt into the great beyond

But at least I was calm
A E D Asus2
At least I managed to stay calm
