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

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

Oooh ...
[Verse]
G# C# G#
I guess I’ll be leaving tomorrow
G# C# G#
If I have to beg, steal or borrow
C# G# C# G#
It’d be great to cross paths in a day and a half
C# G#
Look at each other and laugh
[Verse]
G# C# G#
But I don’t think it’s liable to happen
G# C# G#
Like the sound of one hand clappin’
C# G# C# G#
The vows that we kept are now broken and swept
C# G#
’Neath the bed where we slept
[Bridge]
D# G# C# G#
Don’t think of me and fantasize on what we never had
D# G# C# G#
Be grateful for what we’ve shared together and be glad
[Interlude]
| G# | % | % | % |
Oooh ...
| G# | % | % | % |
[Bridge]
D# G# C# G#
Why should we go on watching each other through a telescope?
D# G# C# D#
Eventually we’ll hang ourselves on all this tangled rope
[Verse]
G# C# G#
Oh, babe, time for a new transition
G# C# G#
I wish I was a magician
C# G# C# G#
I would wave a wand and tie back the bond
C# G#
That we’ve both gone beyond
[Outro]
