5 4 5 4 -4 3 -4 3
Babe, it feels like it's all happened
5 4 5 4 -4 3 -4
Twenty-three years of the same
5 4 5 6 -4 3 -4 3
And I'm sorry 'bout this morning
5 4 5 4 -4 3 -4
For the damage I will pay

5 4 5 4 -4 3 -4 3
All the mirrors face the walls and
5 4 5 4 -4 3 -4
I wake just to long for bed
5 4 5 6 -4 3 -4 3
Love, what's got you so down low? The
5 4 5 4 -4 3 3
saddest tongue is in your head

5 4 5 4 -4 3 -4 3
I forget the thrill of lies, the
5 4 5 4 -4 3 -4
Truth escaping through the eyes now
5 4 5 6 -4 3 -4 3
you use voices on the phone that
5 4 -4 3 3
Once were spent on me

5 4 5 4 -4 3 -4 3
The world has changed beyond our doorstep
5 4 5 4 -4 3 -4
PeoplÐµ talk and dress so strange
5 4 5 6 -4 3 -4 3
I don't know a neighbour's namÐµ and
5 4 5 4 -4 3 3
All of life is rearranged

5 4 5 4 -4 3 -4 3
Nice to know that you're still caring
5 4 5 4 -4 3 -4
Well enough to raise your voice
5 4 5 6 -4 3 -4 3
But if we must bring up the past then
5 4 5 4 -4 3 3
Please don't speak to me of choice

5 4 5 4 -4 3 -4 3
Across the way moved in a pair with
5 4 -4 3 -4
Passion in its prime
5 4 5 6 -4 3 -4 3
Maybe they look through to us and
5 4 -4 3 3
Hope that's them in time
