  G

  This is the dinner prepared

              Gmaj7

  This is the dress that I made

               G7

  This is the child I brought up

  E7               Am

  And this is the woman you laid

  C             G

  This is the woman you laid

  

                 G

  This is the perfume I wore

              Gmaj7

  This is the hotel we stayed

              G7

  This is the way that I lay

  E7               Am

  And this is the woman you laid

  C             G

  This is the woman you laid

  

  D                                           Bm     Eb

  We promised ourselves this is no one-night stand

  D                                               Bm     Eb

  Let us draw all the curtains and strike up the band

  D                                               Bm     Eb

  And I'm thrilled by the gentlest touch of your hand

       D7

  We pretend

  

             G              Gmaj7

  There's a tear, there's a tear

  G7                            E7 Am         Cm G

  Not through confusion through fear, through fear

  

                G

  This is the smile that I wore

             Gmaj7

  This is the song that we played

              G7

  This is the way that I lay

  E7               Am

  And this is the woman you laid

  C             G

  This is the woman you laid

  

  D                                          Bm     Eb

  Next morning our eyes filled with sleepy regret

  D                                 Bm     Eb

  A kiss and good-bye and a long cigarette

  D                                        Bm     Eb

  But the pillow I lay on is cold and it's wet

          D7

  Can't pretend

  

          G           Gmaj7

  It's a tear, it's a tear

  G7                           E7 Am          Cm G

  Not through confusion through fear, through fear

  Dm                                      G     Bb

  And knowing at least that love came so near

  Dm                                            C  G

  Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear

  Gmaj7 G7 E7 Am Cm G

  

  D                                        Bm     Eb

  Roll out the red carpets and unplug the phone

  D                                   Bm     Eb

  Root out the photos you've already shown

  D                                    Bm     Eb

  'Cos this one night you won't sleep alone

            D7

  Just one night

  

          G           Gmaj7

  It's a tear, it's a tear

  G7                           E7 Am          Cm G

  Not through confusion through fear, through fear

  Dm                                      G     Bb

  And knowing at least that love came so near

  Dm                                            C  G

  Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear

  Gmaj7 G7 E7 Am Cm G

  

             G              Gmaj7

  There's a tear, there's a tear

  G7                           E7 Am          Cm G

  Not through confusion through fear, through fear

  G7                           E7 Am          Cm G

  Not through confusion through fear, through fear
