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
