I  lay in  your arms
 In the room  where you  had borne  the scars.
It  was late  at night,
 And the city  lay  asleep  outside.
 And the moon  was in  your hair,
 And it all  was so  unfair,
 or was it,  d...e....ar?
I  said Im  leaving soon.
 I must go  and do  what I  must do
You  said you'd understand.
 But I really  dont  see how  you can.
 When I said  Id  make the time
 And tomorrow Id  call by,
 that was a lie.
Im  no ladies  man,
 And I never  will  be one  of them.
I  didnt steal  from you.
 And what happened  here  was nothing  new.
 Not to make  it all  sound vain,
 You lay the man,  you lay  his name,  but lay no claim.
I  cant explain  no more.
 Ah girl,  come  on, you knew  before,
Before  you took  me home.
 I can only  work  if Im  alone.
 And when I said  goodnight  tonight,
 When I said  goodnight  tonight,
 that meant goodbye.

[G]I lay i[D]n your a[G]rms     [G]        [D/F#]

[G]It was l[D]ate at n[G]ight,  [G]     [D/F#]
And the c[Em]ity la[C]y asl[D]eep out[G]side.

And the m[G]oon was [D/F#]in your h[C]air,
And it a[G]ll was s[D/F#]o      un[C]fair,
or was it,[G] d..[D/F#].e....a[C]r?     [G]       [D/F#]            [C]

[G]I said [D]Im leaving s[G]oon.   [G]     [D/F#]
I must [Em]go and [C]do what [D]I must d[G]o
[G]You said you'd [D]unders[G]tand.  [G]    [D/F#]
But I r[Em]eally d[C]ont see h[D]ow you c[G]an.

When I s[G]aid I[D/F#]d make the [C]time
And to[G]morrow [D/F#]Id call b[C]y,
that was a [G]li[D/F#]e.   [C]         [G]           [D/F#]                [C]

Not to [G]make it [D/F#]all sound [C]vain,
You lay the m[G]an, you la[D/F#]y his na[C]me, but lay no c[G]la[D/F#]im.  [C]          [G]            [D/F#]                 [C]

And when I s[G]aid goo[D/F#]dnight ton[C]ight,
When I sa[G]id goo[D/F#]dnight ton[C]ight,
that meant go[G]odb[D/F#]ye.   [C]           [G]              [D/F#]                     [C]
