Just Good Friends

(Intro: ) (First Verse:) Drawing back the curtains, sluggish city daylight in the afternoon... Here's that special silence, just before you walk out of the hotel room. Each time we're so close I assume that we'll never be again - (no chord) oh, how long must we pretend (Second Verse - same chords) A casual affair is all that you can spare from your emotional change; A calendar of meetings, strangers on the street the best we ever arrange. Now I just can't stand all the pain, all the constant make and mend; oh how long must we pretend that we're just good friends? I gave you my devotion, hiding nothing up my sleeve - If I walked clean out of your life would you even notice me leave? So much tangled-up emotion, should I stay or should I go? If I walked clean out of your life how long would it take you to know? (no chord) Are we such good friends? (On original release include the 4 lyric lines, on The Love Songs play them Instrumentally - Same chords) You used to say 'I love you', you used to say 'You make me feel alive and young'; now we're just a habit, a flavour, one a month, to titillate your tongue. How sordid this has become as the means approach the end - Oh, how long can we pretend I gave you my devotion, hiding nothing up my sleeve - If I walked clean out of your life would you even notice me leave So much tangled-up emotion, should I stay or should I go? If I walked clean out of your life how long would it take you to know? If I walked clean out of you life how long would it take you to know (no chord) Are we such good friends?
