G Gj7 Bm Em Em7

They passed me by, all of those great romances

C G D C D

You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances

G Gj7 Bm Em Em7

My picture clear, everything seemed so easy

C Bm

And so I dealt you the blow

Em

One of us had to go

Am C/G D7/F#

Now it's different, I want you to know

G

One of us is crying

G/F# Em

One of us is lying

Em7 C E7 Am

In her lonely bed

C6/G D

Staring at the ceiling

C D7 G G/F# Em Em7 C D7

Wishing she was somewhere else instead

G

One of us is lonely

G/F# Em

One of us is only

Em7 C E7 Am

Waiting for a call

A7 G

Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small

D7(sus) D7

Wishing she had never left at all

I saw myself as a concealed attraction

I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action

Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving

That's how I started the show

One of us had to go

Now I've changed and I want you to know

One of us is crying

One of us is lying

In her lonely bed

Staring at the ceiling

Wishing she was somewhere else instead

One of us is lonely

One of us is only

Waiting for a call

Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small

Wishing she had never left at all

Never left at all

Staring at the ceiling

Wishing she was somewhere else instead

One of us is lonely

One of us is only

Waiting for a call
