   A
In bed beside you with the curtains drawn

       C#7sus4                C#m7   
For an hour at least I can pretend we're born

   F#m                           Dmaj7           D6
To be together and fate alone is keeping me from you

              A
But there's a price we pay when we live a lie

        C#7sus4         C#m7   
And you find it hard to meet my eye

         F#m                           
When you start to dress as we kiss goodbye

      Dmaj7             D6
And I know we're coming to

    Asus4  A     E   
The end of the affair

    D   D6 Dsus2
The end of the affair

Asus4                 A
I could love you for eternity

    E   
The fact remains you don't belong to me

      D   D6 Dsus2
 (The end of the affair)

        A
I could tell the story of my love for you

       C#7sus4                C#m7   
With a detailed list of every rendez-vous

F#m                           
Discreet hotels we've checked into

Dmaj7            D6
How and when and where

      A
But a cold recital of the facts would miss

    C#7sus4     C#m7   
The poetry, the way you kiss

   F#m                           
The sense of loss now as come to this

    Dmaj7           D6
The bitter sweet despair

    Asus4  A     E   
The end of the affair

    D   D6 Dsus2
The end of the affair

Asus4                 A
I could love you for eternity

    E   
The fact remains you don't belong to me

      D   D6 Dsus2
 (The end of the affair)

         A
Well I'm old enough to know right from wrong

     C#7sus4       C#m7   
So I tell myself I should be strong

   F#m                           
In time I'll learn to get along

    Dmaj7         D6
Without you being near

      A
But I know I'm living when I'm by your side

         C#7sus4          C#m7   
You're a rollercoaster, a fairground ride

   F#m                           
My conscience and desires collide

     Dmaj7         D6
Like rockets in midair

    Asus4  A     E   
The end of the affair

    D   D6 Dsus2
The end of the affair

Asus4                     A
I could love you till the stars don't shine

    E   
But I'm not yours and you're not mine

      D   D6 Dsus2
 (The end of the affair)

     Dmaj7 D6        Dmaj7 Dmaj7sus2      [ A ]
It's o-    ver, it's o     ver,       It's over

 (The end of the affair)

    A
The first few days are gonna drag real slow

          C#7sus4              C#m7   
I'm gonna think I see you everywhere I go

          F#m   
These are routine symptoms ex-lovers show

    Dmaj7             D6
The battle scars they share

  A
I already miss your worried smile

C#7sus4        C#m7   
Guilty secrets weren't your style

        F#m                           
But you had me fooled for a little while

     Dmaj7            D6
That makes it hard to bear

    Asus4  A     E   
The end of the affair

    D   D6 Dsus2
The end of the affair

Asus4                     A
I could love you till the stars don't shine

But I'm not yours and you're not mine

      D   D6 Dsus2
 (The end of the affair)

     Dmaj7 D6        Dmaj7 Dmaj7sus4       A
It's o-    ver, it's o     ver,       It's over
