[Verse 1]
                    F      D     Am
We've been together twenty years

                    F    D       Em
The passion's never disa-ppeared

                    Bm         Em
Then things started to regress

               Am
Undoing all my eagerness

  F#7                Bm
I knew other men had felt like me

Am
Sinking down in misery
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
                  F      D    Am
My manhood took a silent blow

                   F        D  Em
I thought I had no place to go

                  Bm            Em
We sat up talking all night long

                 Am
The tactile mood remaining strong

F#7                Bm
She took me gently by the hand

   Am
To-gether we devised a plan

[Bridge]
           B7                     E7
The doctor saw me and was not sur-prised

               A                      F#m7
The tests came back and I was lost in-side

       Fm7                  Bbm7  D
In the image was a darkened shape

           B7                       E7
He gave me pills to take and tables turned

           A                       F#m7
The side e-ffect was just a gentle burn

       B7               C
I felt scared as I laid awake
[Interlude] D | Bm7 | Am | G Gm | Am [Verse 3]
                   Fm7     D     Am
We understand each other's fears

                       Fm7      D7    Em
We'd always been there down the years

                  Bm           Em
The prospect of a-nother night

              Am
Waking up and holding tight

F#                Bm
Trying to balance in mid air

     Bsus4                 Dsus2 D
With nothing but a dribble there
[Chorus]
