Capo 3rd fret
[Chorus 1]
E A/C#
Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
B/D# A/C# E
Is it cheating if you call me your man?
E A/C#
I'm retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye
B/D# A/C# E
And pretending not to know you're there
[Verse 1]
E A
I imagine the sound of your voice
B B7 E
I imagine the smell of your skin
E A
I imagine me with you the way that he is
B B7 E
And wonder how it would have been
[Verse 2]
E A/C#
In the morning, the tears on my pillow
B/D# A/C# E
Will dry in the sun in my room
E A/C#
And they’ll go up to heaven but I’ll stay down here
B/D# A/C# E
Far from you as the Earth and the Moon
[Chorus 2]
E A/C#
Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
B/D# A/C# E
Is it cheating if you call me your man?
E A/C#
I'm receiving wayward glances from your wandering eye
B/D# A/C# E
Pretending not to know you care
[Verse 3]
E A
Many years go by but we keep blinking eyes
B B7 E
Making promises and keeping a few
E A
Try to call, try to write, but that one single night
B B7 E
Was the one night I couldn’t have you
[Bridge]
A/C# B/D# E
Come dance beside me
A/C# B/D# E
Grab your partner, and I’ll grab mine
A/C# B/D# E C#m7
Hold him close in your sweet arms
F#7 B B7
And think of me darling tonight
[Verse 4]
E A/C#
With this ring on my finger, I was promised a way
B/D# A/C# E
With this ring, I was chained to a sill
E A/C#
So I sing of a sweetheart gone so many yesterdays
B/D# A/C# E
So I sing through this singular hell
[Chorus 3]
E A/C#
Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
B/D# A/C# E
Is it cheating if you call me your man?
E A/C#
I'm retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye
B/D# A/C# E
Pretending not to know you're there
E A/C#
Yeah, I'm receiving wayward glances from your wandering eye
B/D# A/C# E
And pretending not to know you care
