BRIDGE 
 
D                            A 
Every day I'm waiting by the telephone 
D                             A 
Every day you keep me hanging on 
E                 
While you're away, I think night and day 
      A                     E 
About where you're gone and how for long 
  D                      A     C  D  A 
Before our love turns to stone 


 
BRIDGE 
 
D                             A 
See you in the papers and the magazines 
D                             A 
But a photograph's no good to me 
E 
While you're away, I think night and day 
      A                     E 
About where you're gone and how for long 
  D                      A     C  D  A 
Before our love turns to stone 


 
BRIDGE 
 
D                                 A 
Saw you for the first time and my shutter froze 
D                                       A 
Cameras clicked, we kissed and you were gone 
E                        E 
But while you're away, I think night and day 
E                         
But while you're away, I think night and day 
      A                     E 
About where you're gone and how for long 
  D                      A     C  D  A 
Before our love turns to stone 


 
BRIDGE 
 
D                              A 
Beauty contests were your only claim to fame 
D                            A 
Then your body won over your brain 
E 
You stripped for the lights 
    A                 E 
And things went just right 
           A                    E 
Now you're suntanned right down to the bone 
    D                          A     C  D  A 
And our love's gone, turned to stone
