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

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

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

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