Dsus2
It's either something in their eyes,
Bm9
Or something in the drink
Gmaj7 G/A
But whatever it is they both stop and think
Dsus2 Bm9
There's no going back and nothing above
Gmaj7 A F#/A#
It's lust and loneliness but never love.
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
She takes a breath as he takes his keys
F#m7dim5 Gmaj7 F#m7
First name terms is the extent of it
Em9 D6
There's no getting out as they're going in
Gmaj7 A F#/A#
But by tomorrow they both will begin
Bm Bm/A
To regret and renege on a bond they have struck
Gmaj7 A F#/A#
A small price to pay and casual luck
Bm Bm/A
Some lose nothing, some lose a lot
Gmaj7 Bm Bm/A A6
But whatever we have is all we have got.
D6 Bm9 Gmaj7 G/A
Dsus2 Bm9
He takes her hand and leads to the room
Gmaj7 G/A
In half light and silence for their clothes to remove
Dsus2 Bm9
There's doubt in her mind but hope in her heart
Gmaj7 A F#/A#
That this last one of many may be the start.
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
So they wriggle and writhe for an hour or two
F#m7dim5 Gmaj7 F#m7
But time has no place when two are consumed.
Em9 D6
They moan and they gasp but they don't really speak
Gmaj7 A F#/A#
As no conversation could fit this scene.
Gmaj7 Dmaj7 F#m7dim5 Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7
(vocal scat)
Dmaj7 Em7 G/B F#m/A A#aug G/A
Dsus2 Bm9
And tomorrow as always, always comes
Gmaj7 G/A
As she slips away, He still dumb
Dsus2 Bm9
He felt the urge just as she felt the need
Gmaj7 A F#/A#
Now the need to get out, still carrying his seed,
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
Which trickles down her leg and onto her shoe
F#m7dim5 Gmaj7 F#m7
Onto the pavement and then out of view
Em9 D6
Into the gutter and down into a drain
Gmaj7 A6 F#7/A#
Joining a river and there to remain
Bm Bm/A
There's no going back and there's nothing above
Gmaj7 A6 F#7/A#
It's lust or loneliness that drives us alone
Bm Bm/A Gmaj7 A F#/A#
Bm Bm/A Gmaj7
Gm6 A6 D
It's lust and loneliness, but it's seldom love.
