Standard (EADGBE)

It's cold outside

And the paint's peeling off of my walls

There's a man outside

In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

Now the light fades out

And I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like this

There's a knock on the door

And just for a second I thought I remembered you

x6

So now I'm alone

Now I can think for myself

About little deals

and S.U's

And things that I just don't understand

Like a white lie that night

or a slight touch at times touch at times

I don't think I meant anything to you

x4

So I open the door

It's the `friend' that I'd left in the hallway

"Please sit down"

A candle lit shadow on a wall near the bed

You know I hate to ask

But, are `friends' electric?

You see, mine's broke down

And now I've no one to love

x6

So I find out your reason

For the phone calls and smiles

And it hurts

And I'm lonely

And I should never have tried

And I missed you tonight

So it's time to leave

You see it meant everything to me

x4

(to fade)
