INTRO:
Cm Bb Cm Bb
Bb Cm
All the bedroom lights go out
Bb
As the neighbourhood gets quiet
Fm Cm
Everything in heaven and earth is almost right
Cm Bb
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 Bb
Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him
Fm Cm
He was late this time last week
Cm Bb
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 Eb
There’s been a long honeymoon
Bb Edim Eb Gm
She thought too late and spoke too soon
Ab Gm
There’s no money back guarantee on future happiness
Edim Eb
There’s been a long honeymoon
Db Dbm 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
Bb Cm
All the movies and the papers
Bb
Feature the murders of lonely women
Fm Cm
If he isn’t in by ten she’ll call up her best friend
Cm
Why doesn’t he come home
Bb
Why does her friends phone keep on ringing
Fm G+ (?)
. . . . Maybe she should just pretend
(chorus)
