G#G# A#A# C#C# G#G# |2x


[Verse]

G#G#
Well I kept fantasizing your eyes were wide open
A#A#
and it made me long for little last night
C#C#
Yes it was frantic, it was young, it was sweet
G#G#
But a sweet worth every bite
G#G#
Now I'm not normally one to be greedy
A#A#
But I had to be greedy with you
C#C#
5 days, 6 days. the whole of the month
G#G#
wouldn't satisfy my only sweet tooth

[Chorus]

      G#G#
Well it can take many years to forge a friendship
    A#A#
It can take a lifetime to get close
    C#C#
But we took all the shortcuts,
used our hearts as a map
G#G#
and we still got closer than most


G#G# A#A# C#C# G#G#


[Verse]

G#G#
Well excuse my staring but it's just your looks
A#A#
are a standard well above myself
C#C#
Your face might mean zip to you
G#G#
But to me it's something else
G#G#
All I can do is thank you
A#A#
and wish that every dream you have will come true
C#C#
5 years, 6 years, the whole of your life
G#G#
I'll be wishing for the riches for you

[Chorus]

      G#G#
Well it can take many years to forge a friendship
    A#A#
It can take a lifetime to get close
    C#C#
But we took all the shortcuts,
used our hearts as a map
G#G#
and we still got closer than most

[Verse]

G#G#
You dashed pretty's only chance of a compliment
A#A#
and gave the plain the blues
C#C#
Turned supermodel into last year's pull
G#G#
and got her down shining your shoes
G#G#
And I don't mean to be hod carrier
A#A#
of the ordinary folks bad news
C#C#
But tell Miss World to fly to Mars
G#G#
If she really doesn't like to lose.


[Chorus]

      G#G#
Well it can take many years to forge a friendship
    A#A#
It can take a lifetime to get close
    C#C#
But we took all the shortcuts,
used our hearts as a map
G#G#
and we still got closer than most
