Intro:
F# G#m A#m B* x 7

Verse:
           F# G#m A#m          B*       F# G#m A#m B*
It's not right,       but it's now or never
           F# G#m A#m          B*              F# G#m A#m B*
And if I wait         could I ever forgive myself?
       F# G#m A#m           B*                       F# G#m A#m B*
On a night        when the moon glows yellow in the riptide
           F# G#m A#m           B*                  F# G#m A#m B*
With the light        from the TVs buzzing in the house

Pre-Chorus:
       F#                   G#m
Cause I'm gonna cut it where I can
         A#m                    B*
And then I'm gonna duck out behind them
      F#                    G#m
If I ever had a chance it's now then
       A#m                            B*           F# G#m A#m B*
But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you

     F#        G#m           A#m
To offer it to you would be cruel
      B*           F#       G#m   A#m
When all I want to do is use, use you

Chorus:
                    F# G#m
He was a diplomat's son
       A#m B*
It was '81
                    F# G#m
He was a diplomat's son
       A#m B*
It was '81

Verse:
             F# G#m A#m         B*                      F# G#m A#m B*
Dressed in white        with my car keys hidden in the kitchen
          F# G#m A#m     B*              F# G#m A#m B*
I could sleep        wherever I lay my head
          F# G#m A#m          B*                        F# G#m A#m B*
And the sight        of your two shoes sitting in the bathtub
         F# G#m A#m          B*                   F# G#m A#m B*
Let me know        that I shouldn't give up just yet

Pre-Chorus:
       F#                     G#m
Cause I'm gonna take it from Simon
         A#m                  B*
And then I'm gonna duck out behind them
      F#                    G#m
If I ever had a chance it's now, then
       A#m                           B*
But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you

     F#        G#m           A#m
To offer it to you would be cruel
      B*           F#       G#m   A#m
When all I want to do is use, use you

Chorus:
                    F# G#m
He was a diplomat's son
        A#m B*
It was '81
                   F# G#m
He was a diplomat's son
        A#m B*
It was '81

Bridge:
B F# F# C# x 2

B       F#
I know, you'll say
F#           C#
I'm not doing it right
    B              F#      F#      C#
But this is how I want it
B       F#
I can't go back
F#        C#
To how I felt before

Verse:
F#             G#m
That night I smoked a joint
     A#m
With my best friend
     B*                F#
We found ourselves in bed
        G#m            A#m
When I woke up he was gone

Chorus:
                    F# G#m
He was a diplomat's son
       A#m B*
It was '81
                    F# G#m
He was a diplomat's son
       A#m B*
It was '81

Bridge:
B F# F# C# x 7

Outro:
        F# G#m A#m        B*                  F# G#m A#m B*
Looking out       at the ice cold water all around me
         F# G#m A#m      B*                   F# G#m A#m B*
I can't feel       any traces of that other place
         F# G#m A#m          B*                        F# G#m A#m B*
In the dark        when the wind comes racing off the river
           F# G#m A#m      B*
