[Intro] G
       G                          C
Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?

       D            D7         G
Is it cheating if you call me your man?

                                        C
I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye,

        D           D7           G
And pretending not to know you’re there.

                              C
I imagine the sound of your voice

    D       D7            G
I imagine the smell of your skin

                             C
I imagine me with you, the way that he is

      D         D7           G
And wonder how it would have been

                                 C
In the morning the tears on my pillow

      D         D7       G
Will dry in the sun in my room

                                     C
And they’ll go off to heaven, but I’ll stay down here

          D         D7            G
Far from you as the Earth and the moon

                                 C
Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?

        D              D7          G
Is it cheating if you call me your man?

                                        C
I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye,

        D              D7        G
And pretending not to know you’re there.

                           C
Many years go by while we keep blinking eyes

         D          D7       G
Making promises and keeping a few
I try to call, I try to write
           C                        D          D7            G
But that one single night was the one night I could have had you

C    Bm            G
Come dance beside me

            C           Bm      G
Grab your partner and I’ll grab mine

C         Bm            G      Em
Hold him close in your sweet arms

     D7                   D
And think of me darling tonight

           G                       C
With this ring on my finger I was promised away

           D          D7           G
With this ring I was chained to a cell

                                   C
So I sing of a sweetheart gone so many yesterdays

      D                D7       G
So I sing through this singular hell.

                              C
Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?

        D             D7          G
Is it cheating if you call me your man?

                                        C
I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye,

        D              D7        G
And pretending not to know you’re there.

                                            C
Yeah I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye,

     D                C         G
And pretending not to know you care
