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                        F+      G9  G
'Cause the baby isn't old enought to speak

G              Edim7 Eb
There's been a long honeymoon

Bb                  Edim7 Eb       Gm
She thought too late and spoke too soon

           Ab                             Gm
There's no money back guarantee on future happiness

               Edim7 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                        F+
 . . . . Maybe she should just pretend
(Chorus)
