Just Good Friends

(Intro: )

/ / /


(First Verse:)


Drawing back the curtains,

sluggish city daylight in the afternoon...

Here s that special silence,

just before you walk out of the hotel room.

Each time we re so close I assume

that we ll never be again -
(no chord)
oh, how long must we pretend


(Second Verse - same chords)

A casual affair is all that you can spare
from your emotional change;
A calendar of meetings,
strangers on the street
the best we ever arrange.
Now I just can t stand all the pain,
all the constant make and mend;
oh how long must we pretend
that we re just good friends?


I gave you my devotion,

hiding nothing up my sleeve -

If I walked clean out of your life

would you even notice me leave?

So much tangled-up emotion,

should I stay or should I go?

If I walked clean out of your life

how long would it take you to know?
(no chord)
Are we such good friends?


(On original release include the 4 lyric lines, on The Love Songs
play them Instrumentally - Same chords)


You used to say I love you ,
you used to say You make me feel alive and young ;
now we re just a habit, a flavour, one a month,
to titillate your tongue.
How sordid this has become
as the means approach the end -
Oh, how long can we pretend



I gave you my devotion,

hiding nothing up my sleeve -
(add choir...
If I walked clean out of your life

would you even notice me leave

So much tangled-up emotion,

should I stay or should I go?

If I walked clean out of your life
(?)
how long would it take you to know?

If I walked clean out of you life

how long would it take you to know
(no chord)
Are we such good friends?
