(Intro )
(First Verse:)
F#
Drawing back the curtains,
sluggish city daylight in the afternoon...
F#Here's that special silence,
F#mjust before you walk out of the hotel room.
Each time we're so close I assume
F#m C#that we'll never be again -
A E F#5 (no chord)
oh, 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 C#
I gave you my devotion,
hiding nothing up my sleeve -
E G#mIf I walked clean out of your life
C#m F#mwould you even notice me leave?
So much tangled-up emotion,
F#m Bshould I stay or should I go?
E G#mIf I walked clean out of your life
how long would it take you to 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 C#
I gave you my devotion,
hiding nothing up my sleeve -
E (add choir... G#m
If I walked clean out of your life
C#m F#mwould you even notice me leave
So much tangled-up emotion,
F#m Dshould I stay or should I go?
G BmIf I walked clean out of your life

(no chord)
Are we such good friends?
