Lyrics

They passed me by, (Em7)all of those great ro manc es.

My pic ture clear, (Em)ev ’ry thing seemed so eas (Em7)y,

and so I (Bm)dealt you the blow, one of (Em)us had to go.

(Am)Now it’s dif fer ent, (Am7)I want you to (D)know.

One of us is (G)cry in’, (G)one of us is (Em)ly in’ (Em7)in her lone ly (C)bed.

Star ing at the (D)ceil ing,

(C)wish ing she was (D)some where else in (G)stead.

(D)One of us is (G)lone ly, (G)one of us is (Em)on ly (Em7)wait ing for a (C)call.

Sor ry for her (A7)self, feel ing (G)stu pid, feel ing small,

(Am)wish ing she had nev er left at (D)all.

I saw my self

(Em7)as a con cealed at trac tion.

I felt you (Cmaj9)kept me a way from the (D)heat the ac and tion.

Just like a child,

(Em)stub born and mis con ceiv

(Em7)ing,

that’s how I (Bm)start ed the show, one of (Em)us had to go.

One of us is (G)cry in’, (G)one of us is (Em)ly in’ (Em7)in her lone ly (C)bed.

Star ing at the (D)ceil ing,

(C)wish ing she was (D)some where else in (G)stead.
