[Verse]
E A E
I think we better talk this o-ver
E A E
Maybe when we both get sober
A E A E
You’ll understand I’m only a man
A E
Doin’ the best that I can
[Verse]
E A E
This situation can only get rougher
E A E
Why should we needlessly suffer?
A E A E
Let’s call it a day, go our own different ways
A E
Before we decay
[Bridge]
B E A E
You don’t have to be afraid of looking into my face
B E A B
We’ve done nothing to each other time will not erase
[Interlude]

Oooh ...
[Verse]
E A E
I feel displaced, I got a low-down feeling
E A E
You been two-faced, you been double-dealing
A E A E
I took a chance, got caught in the trance
A E
Of a downhill dance
[Verse]
E A E
Oh, child, why you wanna hurt me?
E A E
I’m exiled, you can’t convert me
A E A E
I’m lost in the haze of your delicate ways
A E
With both eyes glazed
[Bridge]
B E A E
You don’t have to yearn for love, you don’t have to be alone
B E A E
Somewheres in this universe there’s a place that you can call home
[Interlude]

Oooh ...
[Verse]
E A E
I guess I’ll be leaving tomorrow
E A E
If I have to beg, steal or borrow
A E A E
It’d be great to cross paths in a day and a half
A E
Look at each other and laugh
[Verse]
E A E
But I don’t think it’s liable to happen
E A E
Like the sound of one hand clappin’
A E A E
The vows that we kept are now broken and swept
A E
’Neath the bed where we slept
[Bridge]
B E A E
Don’t think of me and fantasize on what we never had
B E A E
Be grateful for what we’ve shared together and be glad
[Interlude]

Oooh ...

[Bridge]
B E A E
Why should we go on watching each other through a telescope?
B E A B
Eventually we’ll hang ourselves on all this tangled rope
[Verse]
E A E
Oh, babe, time for a new transition
E A E
I wish I was a magician
A E A E
I would wave a wand and tie back the bond
A E
That we’ve both gone beyond
[Outro]
