INTRO:

Cm A# Cm A#

 

A# Cm

All the bedroom lights go out

A#

As the neighbourhood gets quiet

Fm Cm

Everything in heaven and earth is almost right

Cm A#

But there's a wife whos wondering where her husband could be tonight

Fm Cm

And when the phone rang only once she took a dreadful fright

Cm A#

Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him

Fm Cm

He was late this time last week

Cm A#

Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim

Fm G+ G9 G

'Cause the baby isn't old enought to speak

 

G Edim D#

There's been a long honeymoon

A# Edim D# Gm

She thought too late and spoke too soon

G# Gm

There's no money back guarantee on future happiness

Edim D#

There's been a long honeymoon

C# C#m B

If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins

Bm F# Bm A G#m Gm

She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this

 

A# Cm

All the movies and the papers

A#

Feature the murders of lonely women

Fm Cm

If he isn't in by ten she'll call up her best friend

Why doesn't he come home

A#

Why does her friends phone keep on ringing

Fm G+ (?)

. . . . Maybe she should just pretend

 

(chorus)
