[G]This is the dinner prepared
This is the [Gmaj7]dress that I made
This is the c[G7]hild I brought up
[E7]And this is the w[Am]oman you laid
[C]This is the wo[G]man you laid
This is the per[G]fume I wore
This is the [Gmaj7]hotel we stayed
This is the [G7]way that I lay
[E7]And this is the w[Am]oman you laid
[C]This is the wo[G]man you laid
[D]We promised ourselves this is no one-night s[Bm]tand[Eb]
[D]Let us draw all the curtains and strike up the b[Bm]and[Eb]
[D]And I'm thrilled by the gentlest touch of your h[Bm]and[Eb]
We pr[D7]etend
There's a t[G]ear, there's a [Gmaj7]tear
[G7]Not through confusion through [E7]fea[Am]r, through [Cm]fea[G]r
This is the sm[G]ile that I wore
This is the[Gmaj7] song that we played
This is the [G7]way that I lay
[E7]And this is the w[Am]oman you laid
[C]This is the wo[G]man you laid
[D]Next morning our eyes filled with sleepy re[Bm]gret[Eb]
[D]A kiss and good-bye and a long cig[Bm]arette[Eb]
[D]But the pillow I lay on is cold and it's [Bm]wet[Eb]
Can't pr[D7]etend
It's a t[G]ear, it's a [Gmaj7]tear
[G7]Not through confusion through[E7] fe[Am]ar, through [Cm]fea[G]r
[Dm]And knowing at least that love came so n[G]ear[Bb]
[Dm]Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed [C]tea[G]r
[Gmaj7] [G7] [E7] [Am] [Cm] [G] [D]Roll out the red carpets and unplug the p[Bm]hone[Eb]
[D]Root out the photos you've already s[Bm]hown[Eb]
[D]'Cos this one night you won't sleep a[Bm]lone[Eb]
Just one n[D7]ight
It's a t[G]ear, it's a [Gmaj7]tear
[G7]Not through confusion through[E7] fe[Am]ar, through [Cm]fea[G]r
[Dm]And knowing at least that love came so n[G]ear[Bb]
[Dm]Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed [C]tea[G]r
[Gmaj7] [G7] [E7] [Am] [Cm] [G] There's a t[G]ear, there's a [Gmaj7]tear
[G7]Not through confusion through[E7] fe[Am]ar, through [Cm]fea[G]r
[G7]Not through confusion through[E7] fe[Am]ar, through [Cm]fea[G]r
