VERSE 1
B5            A5   | B5 A5 |
 It's cold outside
B5               A5                      | B5 A5 |
 And the paint's peeling off of my walls
B5                A5   | B5 A5 |
 There's a man outside
B5               A5                  B5          A5 
 In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

VERSE 2
B5                   A5   | B5 A5 |
 Now the light fades out
B5                          A5                   B5    A5
 And I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like this
B5                      A5   | B5 A5 |
 There's a knock on the door
B5              A5                   B5            A5
 And just for a second I thought I remembered you

| F#5 C#5 | E5 B5 |
So now I'm alone,now I can think for myself
| F#5 C#5 | E5 B5 |
About little deals and S.U.S. and things that I just don't understand
| F#5 C#5 | E5 B5 |
Like a white lie that night or a slight touch at times
| F#5 C#5 | E5 B5 |
            I don't think it meant anything to you

VERSE 3
B5             A5   | B5 A5 |
 So I open the door
B5                      A5                  | B5 A5 |
 It's the friend that I left in the hallway
B5            A5     | B5 A5 |
  "Please sit down."
B5              A5                        B5   A5 
 A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed

 You know I hate to ask
B5       A5                | B5 A5 |
 But are friends electric?
B5                 A5     | B5 A5 |
 Only mine's broke down
B5       A5             B5          A5
           And now I've no one to love

| F#5 C#5 | E5 B5 |
So I find out your reason for the phone calls and smiles
| F#5 C#5 | E5 B5 |
And it hurts and I'm lonely and I should never have tried
| F#5 C#5 | E5 B5 |
And I missed you tonight so it's time to leave
| F#5 C#5 | E5 B5 |
            You see it meant everything to me
