               Gmaj7 Bm                 Esus4 Em7 
They passed me by,   all of those great romances 
C             Bm                     C          Dsus4 D 
  You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances 
G              Gmaj7  Bm                   Em Em7 
  My picture clear,   ev'rything seemed so easy 
C          Bm                         Em 
  And so I dealt you the blow, one of us had to go 
Am                  Am7           D 
Now it's different, I want you to know 
 
             G                    Em    Em7           C   Esus4  E  Am 
One of us is crying, one of us is lying in her lonely bed 
A              D        C               D                G     Em  C 
Staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead 
D            G                    Em   D             C    E   Am 
One of us is lonely, one of us is only waiting for a call 
             A7/C#         G 
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small 
Am7                           D   G 
Wishing she had never left at all 
 
        Gmaj7 Bm               Esus4 Em7 
I saw myself  as a concealed attraction 
C            Bm                    C              Dsus4  D 
  I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action 
G              Gmaj7 Bm                 Em  Em7 
Just like a child,   stubborn and misconceiving 
C              Bm                       Em 
  That's how I started the show, one of us had to go 
Am                   Am7           D 
Now I've changed and I want you to know 
 
             G                    Em    Em7           C   Esus4  E  Am 
One of us is crying, one of us is lying in her lonely bed 
A              D        C               D                G     Em  C 
Staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead 
D            G                    Em   D             C    E   Am 
One of us is lonely, one of us is only waiting for a call 
             A7/C#         G 
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small

Never left at all 
A              D        C               D                G     Em  C 
Staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead

One of us is lonely, one of us is only waiting for a call
