F♯

F♯m

(First Verse:)

 DF♯rawing back the curtains,

 sF♯mluggish city daylight in the afternoon...

 HF♯ere's that special silence,

 jF♯must before you walk out of the hotel room.

 EAach time we're so cloC♯se I assume

 tF♯mhat we'll neC♯ver be again -

A E

 oF♯5h, how long must we pretend

(Second Verse - same chords)

A casual affair is all that you can spare

from your emotional change;

A calendar of meetings,

strangers on the street

the best we ever arrange.

Now I just can't stand all the pain,

all the constant make and mend;

oh how long must we pretend

that we're just good friends?

  F♯m I gave you my devoC♯tion,

  F♯m hiding nothing up my slBeeve -

  E If I walked clean ouG♯mt of your life

 wC♯mould you even noF♯mtice me leave?

 SC♯o much tangled-up emotion,

  F♯m should I stay or should I goB?

 IEf I walked clean ouG♯mt of your life

 hC♯mow long would it take you tF♯mo know?

(no chord)

Are we such good friends?

(On original release include the 4 lyric lines, on The Love Songs

play them instrumentally - Same chords)

You used to say 'I love you',

you used to say 'You make me feel alive and young';

now we're just a habit, a flavour, one a month,

to titillate your tongue.

How sordid this has become

as the means approach the end -

Oh, how long can we pretend

  F♯m I gave you my devoC♯tion,

  F♯m hiding nothing up my slBeeve -

  E (add choir...

  G♯m If I walked clean out of your life

 wC♯mould you even noF♯mtice me leave

 SF♯mo much tangled-up emotiC♯on,

  F♯m should I stay or should I goD?
