[Verse 1]
F#5 E5
It's a sign of devotion
A5 B5
You made everybody else seem insane
F#5 E5
You filled my head with your notions
A5 B5
You made everybody else seem so tame
F#5 E5
In your bed I lay reeling
A5 B5
You made everybody else seem ashame
F#5 E5
I knew from the way I was feeling
A5 B5
Nothing could ever be quite the same
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
F#5 E5
I moved straight into your shoes
A5 B5
I took up your cause and answered your phone
F#5 E5
I couldn't really imagine
A5 B5
What life was like when I was alone
F#5 E5
Then I started to worry (then I started to worry)
A5 B5
I thought of our lives left on the shelf
F#5 E5
Too much TV and curry
A5 B5
Too much time spent on ourselves
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
G#m
We were sitting in, waiting
E
And I told you my plan
C#
You were far too busy writing
G A B
Rhymes that didn't scan
G#m
And you lent me your records
E
And I lent you an ear
C#
Funny how it seems to me now
G A B
That you were never here
G A B
Never really here
[Verse 3]
F#5 E5
In our bed I lay reeling
A5 B5
You made everybody else seem a shame
F#5 E5
I knew from the way I was feeling
A5 B5
Nothing could ever be quite the same
F#5 E5
It's a sign of devotion
A5 B5
You made everybody else seem so plain
F#5 E5
Then it felt like going through the motions
A5 B5
First impressions never remain
[Instrumental]

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