Cm  A#  Cm  A#

A#         Cm
All the bedroom lights go out
       A#
As the neighbourhood gets quiet
Fm                     Cm
Everything in heaven and earth is almost right
              Cm                   A#
But there's a wife whos wondering where her husband could be tonight
             Fm                     Cm
And when the phone rang only once she took a dreadful fright
       Cm                       A#
Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him
Fm                Cm
Be was late this time last week
Cm                  A#
Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim
           Fm               G+      G9  G
'Cause the baby isn't old enought to speak

G              Edim D#
There's been a long honeymoon
A#         Edim D#        Gm
She thought too late and spoke too soon
           G#                    Gm
There's no money back guarantee on future happiness
               Edim D#
There's been a long honeymoon
C#           C#m                B
If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins
    Bm                F#         Bm   A     G#m       Gm
She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this

A#      Cm
All the movies and the papers
            A#
Feature the murders of lonely women
      Fm                    Cm
If he isn't in by ten she'll call up her best friend
Cm
Why doesn't he come home
             A#
Why does her friends phone keep on ringing
Fm               G+ (?)
 . . . . Maybe she should just pretend

(chorus)
