[Intro]
| Asus4 A | E/G# | D/F# D6/F# | Dsus2 |
[Verse 1]
A In bed beside you with the curtains drawn F#sus4/G# F#7sus4/G# For an hour at least I can pretend we're born F#m7 Dmaj7 D6 To be together and fate alone is keeping me from you
[Verse 2]
A But there's a price we pay when we live a lie F#sus4/G# F#7sus4/G# And you find it hard to meet my eye F#m7 When you start to dress as we kiss goodbye Dmaj7 D6 And I know we're coming to
[Chorus]
Asus4 A E/G# The end of the affair D/F# D6/F# Dsus2 The end of the affair Asus4 A I could love you for eternity E/G# The fact remains you don't belong to me D/F# D6/F# Dsus2 (The end of the affair)
[Verse 3]
A I could tell the story of my love for you F#sus4/G# F#7sus4/G# With a detailed list of every rendez-vous F#m7 Discreet hotels we've checked into Dmaj7 D6 How and when and where
[Verse 4]
A But a cold recital of the facts would miss F#sus4/G# F#7sus4/G# The poetry, the way you kiss F#m7 The sense of loss now as come to this Dmaj7 D6 The bitter sweet despair
[Chorus]
Asus4 A E/G# The end of the affair D/F# D6/F# Dsus2 The end of the affair Asus4 A I could love you for eternity E/G# The fact remains you don't belong to me D/F# D6/F# Dsus2 (The end of the affair)
[Verse 5]
A Well I'm old enough to know right from wrong F#sus4/G# F#7sus4/G# So I tell myself I should be strong F#m7 In time I'll learn to get along Dmaj7 D6 Without you being near
[Verse 6]
A But I know I'm living when I'm by your side F#sus4/G# F#7sus4/G# You're a rollercoaster, a fairground ride F#m7 My conscience and desires collide Dmaj7 D6 Like rockets in midair
[Chorus]
Asus4 A E/G# The end of the affair D/F# D6/F# Dsus2 The end of the affair Asus4 A I could love you till the stars don't shine E/G# But I'm not yours and you're not mine D/F# D6/F# Dsus2 (The end of the affair)
[Bridge]

Asus4 A E/G# The end of the affair D/F# D6/F# Dsus2 The end of the affair Asus4 A I could love you for eternity E/G# The fact remains you don't belong to me D/F# D6/F# Dsus2 (The end of the affair)
[Verse 7]
A The first few days are gonna drag real slow F#sus4/G# F#7sus4/G# I'm gonna think I see you everywhere I go F#m7 These are routine symptoms ex-lovers show Dmaj7 D6 The battle scars they share
[Verse 8]
A I already miss your worried smile F#sus4/G# F#7sus4/G# Guilty secrets weren't your style F#m7 But you had me fooled for a little while Dmaj7 D6 That makes it hard to bear
[Chorus]
Asus4 A E/G# The end of the affair D/F# D6/F# Dsus2 The end of the affair Asus4 A I could love you till the stars don't shine E/G# But I'm not yours and you're not mine D/F# D6/F# Dsus2 (The end of the affair)
