[Verse 1]
G5 F5
It's a sign of devotion
A#5 C5
You made everybody else seem insane
G5 F5
You filled my head with your notions
A#5 C5
You made everybody else seem so tame
G5 F5
In your bed I lay reeling
A#5 C5
You made everybody else seem ashame
G5 F5
I knew from the way I was feeling
A#5 C5
Nothing could ever be quite the same
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
G5 F5
I moved straight into your shoes
A#5 C5
I took up your cause and answered your phone
G5 F5
I couldn't really imagine
A#5 C5
What life was like when I was alone
G5 F5
Then I started to worry (then I started to worry)
A#5 C5
I thought of our lives left on the shelf
G5 F5
Too much TV and curry
A#5 C5
Too much time spent on ourselves
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Am
We were sitting in, waiting
F
And I told you my plan
D
You were far too busy writing
G# A# C
Rhymes that didn't scan
Am
And you lent me your records
F
And I lent you an ear
D
Funny how it seems to me now
G# A# C
That you were never here
G# A# C
Never really here
[Verse 3]
G5 F5
In our bed I lay reeling
A#5 C5
You made everybody else seem a shame
G5 F5
I knew from the way I was feeling
A#5 C5
Nothing could ever be quite the same
G5 F5
It's a sign of devotion
A#5 C5
You made everybody else seem so plain
G5 F5
Then it felt like going through the motions
A#5 C5
First impressions never remain
[Instrumental]

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