Em
All the bedroom lights go out
D
As the neighbourhood gets quiet
Am Em
Ev'rything in heaven and earth is almost right
Em
But there's a wife who's wond'ring
D
Where her husband could be tonight
Am
And when the phone rang almost once
Em
She took a dreadful fright
Em
Little things just seem to undermine
D
Her confidence in him
Am Em
He was late this time last week
Em
Who can she turn to
D
When the chance of coincidence is slim
Am B+ B9 B
`Cause the baby isn't old enough to speak
G#dim G D
There's been a long honeymoon
G#dim G D
She thought too late and spoke too soon
C
There's no money-back guarantee
Bm
On future happiness
G#dim G F
There's been a long honeymoon
Fm Eb
If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins
Ebm Bb
She never thought her love
Ebm C# Cm Bm
Could ever be as strong as this
Em
All the movies and the papers
D
Feature the murders of lonely women
Am
If he isn't in by ten
Em
She'll call up her best friend
Em
Why doesn't he come home
D
Why does her friend's phone keep on ringing
Am B+ B9 B
Maybe she should just pretend
G#dim G D
There's been a long honeymoon
G#dim G D
She thought too late and spoke too soon
C
There's no money-back guarantee
Bm
On future happiness
G#dim G F
There's been a long honeymoon
Fm Eb
If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins
Ebm Bb
She never thought her love
Ebm C# Cm Bm
Could ever be as strong as this
G D Am Em
Be as strong as this
G D Bbmaj7 Gadd9 D
Be as strong as this
Bbmaj7 Gadd9 D
Be as strong as this
Bbmaj7 Gm7 D G#5
Be as strong as this
Original tune is c-minor!
