C       Bb      C   Bb
 It's cold outside
C             Bb        C Bb
 And the paint's peeling off of my walls
C         Bb    C   Bb
 There's a man outside
C         Bb         C      Bb
 In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

C           Bb      CBb
 Now the light fades out
C              Bb          CBb
 And I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like this
C            Bb    CBb
 There's a knock on the door
C        Bb          C      Bb
 And just for a second I thought I remembered you

F x8

G D F C x2

G          D    F         C
 So now I'm alone,  now I can think for myself
G              D      F               C
 About little deals and S.U's, and things that just I don't understand
G            D     F          C
 Like a white lie that night or a slight touch at times
G        D         F           C
                  I don't think I meant anything to you

C        Bb     C  Bb
 So I open the door
C              Bb        C    Bb
 It's the 'friend' that I'd left in the hallway
C       Bb      C  Bb
 Please sit down
C        Bb           C Bb
 A candle lit shadow on a wall near the bed

C          Bb     CBb
 You know I hate to ask
C      Bb         CBb
 But, are 'friends' electric?      are they?
C            Bb   CBb
  mine's broke down
C       Bb        CBb
         And now I've no one to love

G       D    F           C
 So I find out your reason  for the phone calls and smiles
G        D   F         C
 And it hurts and I'm lonely  and I should never have tried
G      D   F        C
 And I missed you tonight,  so it's time to leave,
G  D    F           C
            You see it meant everything to me
