In ^Abed beside you with the curtains drawn C#7sus4/G# C#m7/G# For an hour at least I can pretend we're born To ^F#mbe together and fate alone is ^Dmaj7keeping me from ^D6you But there's a ^Aprice we pay when we live a lie C#7sus4/G# C#m7/G# And you find it hard to meet my eye When you ^F#mstart to dress as we kiss goodbye And I ^Dmaj7know we're coming ^D6to
