Standard (EADGBE)

At eight o'clock we said goodbye,

that's when I left her house for mine.

♯

She said that she'd be staying in –

well she had to be at work by nine.

So I get home and have a bath,

and let an hour or two pass;

♯

drifting in front of my TV,

when a film comes on that she wants to see.

It's Monday Morning 5:19,

and I'm still wondering where she's been,

♯

'cos every time I try to call I just get her machine.

And now it's almost 6AM , and I don't want to try again,

♯

'cos if she's still not back then this must be the end.

At first I guess she's gone to get

herself a pack of cigarettes,

♯

a pint of milk, food for the cat,

but it's midnight now and she's still not back.

It's Monday Morning 5:19, and I'm still wondering where she's been,

'cos every time I try to call I just get her machine.

And now it's almost 6AM, and I don't want to try again,

'cos if she's still not back then heaven knows, what then, is this the end?

At half past two I picture her in the back of someone else's car –

he runs his fingers through her hair...

Oh you shouldn't let him - touch you there!

Chorus
