A
in bed beside you with the curtains drawn
C#7sus4/G# C#m7/G#
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/G# C#m7/G#
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/G# C#m7/G#
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/G# C#m7/G#
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/G# C#m7/G#
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/G# C#m7/G#
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 ]

A
the first few days are gonna drag real slow
C#7sus4/G# C#m7/G#
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/G# C#m7/G#
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
