[Verse 1]
C5 A#5
It's a sign of devotion
D#5 F5
You made everybody else seem insane
C5 A#5
You filled my head with your notions
D#5 F5
You made everybody else seem so tame
C5 A#5
In your bed I lay reeling
D#5 F5
You made everybody else seem ashame
C5 A#5
I knew from the way I was feeling
D#5 F5
Nothing could ever be quite the same

C5 A#5
I moved straight into your shoes
D#5 F5
I took up your cause and answered your phone
C5 A#5
I couldn't really imagine
D#5 F5
What life was like when I was alone
C5 A#5
Then I started to worry (then I started to worry)
D#5 F5
I thought of our lives left on the shelf
C5 A#5
Too much TV and curry
D#5 F5
Too much time spent on ourselves

[Chorus]
Dm
We were sitting in, waiting
A#
And I told you my plan
G
You were far too busy writing
C# D# F
Rhymes that didn't scan
Dm
And you lent me your records
A#
And I lent you an ear
G
Funny how it seems to me now
C# D# F
That you were never here
C# D# F
Never really here
[Verse 3]
C5 A#5
In our bed I lay reeling
D#5 F5
You made everybody else seem a shame

Nothing could ever be quite the same
C5 A#5
It's a sign of devotion
D#5 F5
You made everybody else seem so plain
C5 A#5
Then it felt like going through the motions
D#5 F5
First impressions never remain

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