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

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

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

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

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