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

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

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

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