(Intro:)

F# / F#m / F# / F#m


(First Verse:)

F#
Drawing back the curtains,
                                                          F#m
sluggish city daylight in the afternoon...
F#
Here's that special silence,
                                                                F#m
just before you walk out of the hotel room.
                  A                   C#
Each time we're so close I assume
                   F#m        C#
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?

F#m                C#
   I gave you my devotion,
F#m                     B
   hiding nothing up my sleeve -
E                    G#m
   If I walked clean out of your life
                  C#m            F#m
would you even notice me leave?
                                         C#
So much tangled-up emotion,
F#m                          B
   should I stay or should I go?
E                 G#m
If I walked clean out of your life
        C#m                       F#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


F#m                C#
   I gave you my devotion,
F#m                     B
   hiding nothing up my sleeve -
E (add choir...      G#m
   If I walked clean out of your life
                  C#m            F#m
would you even notice me leave
F#m                   C#
So much tangled-up emotion,
F#m                          D
   should I stay or should I go?
G                 Bm
If I walked clean out of your life
        Em                        D(?)  Am   E   Am   D
how long would it take you to know?
G                 Bm
If I walked clean out of you life
        Em                        Am
how long would it take you to know
(no chord)
Are we such good friends?
