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
