Em

All the bedroom lights go out

            D

As the neighbourhood gets quiet

   Am                                     Em

Ev'rything in heaven and earth is almost right



               Em

But there's a wife who's wond'ring

             D

Where her husband could be tonight

              Am

And when the phone rang almost once

             Em

She took a dreadful fright



         Em

Little things just seem to undermine

        D

Her confidence in him

Am                        Em

He was late this time last week



Em

Who can she turn to

           D

When the chance of coincidence is slim

            Am                       B+  B9  B

`Cause the baby isn't old enough to speak



              G#dim    G    D

There's been a long honeymoon

               G#dim       G        D

She thought too late and spoke too soon

             C

There's no money-back guarantee

             Bm

On future happiness

              G#dim    G    F

There's been a long honeymoon

                 Fm                       Eb

If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins

    Ebm                Bb

She never thought her love

      Ebm  C#     Cm        Bm

Could ever be as strong as this



          Em

All the movies and the papers

               D

Feature the murders of lonely women

       Am

If he isn't in by ten

               Em

She'll call up her best friend



Em

Why doesn't he come home

               D

Why does her friend's phone keep on ringing

Am                       B+  B9  B

Maybe she should just pretend



              G#dim    G    D

There's been a long honeymoon

               G#dim       G        D

She thought too late and spoke too soon

             C

There's no money-back guarantee

             Bm

On future happiness

              G#dim    G    F

There's been a long honeymoon

                 Fm                       Eb

If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins

    Ebm                Bb

She never thought her love

      Ebm  C#     Cm        Bm

Could ever be as strong as this



G                D     Am  Em

Be as strong as this

G                D     Bbmaj7  Gadd9  D

Be as strong as this

Bbmaj7 Gadd9     D

Be as strong as this

Bbmaj7 Gm7       D       G#5

Be as strong as this







Original tune is c-minor!
