Em                                           G  D   G D
See the bright red sports car, see the happy couple

Em                                           G    D G D
See their clothes so white and their skin so pink

Em                                               G  D   G D
See them playing squash, gotta keep their bodies supple

Em                                                  G   D
And now they kiss goodnight but tomorrow they'll be thinking

   And the beat goes on

Em             D             Em               D
And for better or for worse, they are married but of course

   Not to each other

Em                                              G     D G D
   See, they scheme and sweat but it's all worthwhile

Em                                             G D   G D
   Now he goes back home to a wife who's not a lover

Em                                              G  D
   Now her eyes are wet but tomorrow, she'll be smiling

All day long, all day long

[Bridge]
G                            Bm
   And the feeling's getting stronger

G                             Bm
   That they can't go on much longer

C            D
   Somewhere down the track

C            D
   Something has to crack

   See the scar on his face from the day he met her brother

Em                                                    G   D
   But nothing hurts no more, nothing more than being lonely
