[Verse 1]
C#5 B5
It's a sign of devotion
E5 F#5
You made everybody else seem insane
C#5 B5
You filled my head with your notions
E5 F#5
You made everybody else seem so tame
C#5 B5
In your bed I lay reeling
E5 F#5
You made everybody else seem ashame
C#5 B5
I knew from the way I was feeling
E5 F#5
Nothing could ever be quite the same

[Verse 2]
C#5 B5
I moved straight into your shoes
E5 F#5
I took up your cause and answered your phone
C#5 B5
I couldn't really imagine
E5 F#5
What life was like when I was alone
C#5 B5
Then I started to worry (then I started to worry)
E5 F#5
I thought of our lives left on the shelf
C#5 B5
Too much TV and curry
E5 F#5
Too much time spent on ourselves
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
D#m
We were sitting in, waiting
B
And I told you my plan
G#
You were far too busy writing
D E F#
Rhymes that didn't scan
D#m
And you lent me your records
B
And I lent you an ear
G#
Funny how it seems to me now
D E F#
That you were never here
D E F#
Never really here
[Verse 3]
C#5 B5
In our bed I lay reeling
E5 F#5
You made everybody else seem a shame
C#5 B5
I knew from the way I was feeling
E5 F#5
Nothing could ever be quite the same
C#5 B5
It's a sign of devotion
E5 F#5
You made everybody else seem so plain
C#5 B5
Then it felt like going through the motions
E5 F#5
First impressions never remain
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
D#m
We were sitting in, waiting
B
And you told me your plan
G#
I was far too busy writing
D E F#
Rhymes that didn't scan
D#m
Now I've sold all your records
B
Cause they give me the fear
G#
Funny how it seems to me now
D E F#
That you were never here
D E F#
Never really here
D E F#
Never really here
