Standard (EADGBE)
Late at night in good company,
we talked of idleness and injury
Problems and feelings shared
now more than halved
The stereo, two rooms away
repeated songs wed hear again
and every song became
a song about love
You were hesitant, and I was naive
I was adamant, and you had to concede
We were close,
but not as close as we
might have come to be
One thing led to another,
as the song always goes,
and we lay there in bed
down to the last of our clothes
And by the way I tried to say I love you,
I held you close and gave you sympathy,
such little thanks for all you did for me
But mines a caring heart,
and yours was broken
The stereo, two rooms away
repeated songs wed hear again
and every song became
a song about love
One thing led to another,
as the song always goes,
and we lay there in bed
down to the last of our clothes
And by the way I tried to say I love you,
but the words got jumbled up
and I just kissed you again
And it was over before it started,
and we parted
