[Intro] Am [Verse]
Am                  G       
I met a friend in a bar last night

  Am                   G        
A girl from a far away past

   F                                     Am
We counted and worked out that it'd been more than seven years

         G                   Am  
Since we saw each other last

Am                           G
She looked so much older I'd have to say

    Am                          G
She used to dress so lovely and smart

            F                                Am
And now her colours, they were faded and her hair was a mess

    G                        Am
Her expression was tired and hard

  Am                          G
I asked her what she had been up to since then

Am                G
  She hesitated a while

    F                                    Am
She drew a nervous breath and sighed "Not much to be honest"

G                       Am
  Through a shame-faced smile

   Am                   G
We sat there all night, side by side

Am                     G
  The conversation was slow

  F                            Am
A few times I got up and said "Okay well..."

            G                          Am
But I could tell she didn't want me to go

   Am                       G
At three in the morning she suddenly said

 Am                            G
"Truth is I've done nothing at all

   F                         Am
My mind's been much too busy thinking of a man

    G                  Am
And waiting for him to call"

    Am                        G
"He left me on the day that I turned 21

    Am                        G
For years now I've been on my own

    F                               Am
I'm scared that if I change or if I leave my house too long

           G                             Am
I won't be there when he decides to come home"

  Am                          G
I asked about the man and her eyes lit up!

                 Am                                G          
The taste of his name brought her right out of her shell

             F                          Am
She said "It wasn't always easy, he's a complicated man

              G                            Am
But I know he loves me and I know he meant well"

          Am                        G
"He still calls now and then in the dead of my nights

   Am                   G
He asks if I'm alone in bed

      F                                  Am
And I tell him 'Babe of course I am, I'm yours now and for ever,

                  G
PLEASE DON'T HANG UP!'

                       Am
And then the line goes dead..."

Am                    G
  I met a friend in a bar last night

  Am                     G
A girl that lives in the past

  F                           Am
I got up on my feet and I ran out

                              G                           Am
Thinking "Please don't let me catch the cruel disease she has!"
