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

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
