Strum
D-DU-UDU
It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
Now the light fades out
And I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you
x6
So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals
and S.U's
And things that I just don't understand
Like a white lie that night
or a slight touch at times touch at times
I don't think I meant anything to you
x4
So I open the door
It's the `friend' that I'd left in the hallway
"Please sit down"
A candle lit shadow on a wall near the bed
You know I hate to ask
But, are `friends' electric?
You see, mine's broke down
And now I've no one to love
x6
So I find out your reason
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts
And I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
So it's time to leave
You see it meant everything to me
x4
(to fade)
