G Gj7 Bm Em Em7
They passed me by, all of those great romances
C G D C D
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
G Gj7 Bm Em Em7
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
C Bm
And so I dealt you the blow
Em
One of us had to go
Am C/G D7/F#
Now it's different, I want you to know

G
One of us is crying
G/F# Em
One of us is lying
Em7 C E7 Am
In her lonely bed
C6/G D
Staring at the ceiling
C D7 G G/F# Em Em7 C D7
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
G
One of us is lonely
G/F# Em
One of us is only
Em7 C E7 Am
Waiting for a call
A7 G
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
D7(sus) D7
Wishing she had never left at all


I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
That's how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I've changed and I want you to know

One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
Never left at all

Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
