  A
In bed beside you with the curtains drawn
    C#7sus4/Ab       C#m7/Ab
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/Ab   C#m7/Ab
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/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)

    A
I could tell the story of my love for you
    C#7sus4/Ab       C#m7/Ab
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/Ab C#m7/Ab
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/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)

     A
Well I'm old enough to know right from wrong
   C#7sus4/Ab  C#m7/Ab
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/Ab    C#m7/Ab
You're a rollercoaster, a fairground ride
  F#m
My conscience and desires collide
   Dmaj7     D6
Like rockets in midair

  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)

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

  A
The first few days are gonna drag real slow
     C#7sus4/Ab      C#m7/Ab
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/Ab   C#m7/Ab
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
