Intro: G

G C

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?

D Am G

Is it cheating if you call me your man?

C

I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye,

D Am G

And pretending not to know you’re there.

C

I imagine the sound of your voice

D Am G

I imagine the smell of your skin

C

I imagine me with you, the way that he is

D Am G

And wonder how it would have been

C

In the morning the tears on my pillow

D Am G

Will dry in the sun in my room

C

And they’ll go off to heaven, but I’ll stay down here

D Am G

Far from you as the Earth and the moon

C

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?

D Am G

Is it cheating if you call me your man?

C

I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye,

D Am G

And pretending not to know you’re there.

C

Many years go by while we keep blinking eyes

D Am G

Making promises and keeping a few

I try to call, I try to write

C D Am G

But that one single night was the one night I could have had you

C Bm G

Come dance beside me

C Bm G

Grab your partner and I’ll grab mine

C Bm G Em

Hold him close in your sweet arms

Am D

And think of me darling tonight

G C

With this ring on my finger I was promised away

D Am G

With this ring I was chained to a cell

C

So I sing of a sweetheart gone so many yesterdays

D Am G

So I sing through this singular hell.

C

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?

D Am G

Is it cheating if you call me your man?

C

I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye,

D Am G

And pretending not to know you’re there.

C

Yeah I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye,

D C G

And pretending not to know you care
