G               Gmaj7
They passed me by
Bm                    Esus4 Em7/D
All of those great roman - ces.
C            Bm            Cmaj9
You were, I felt, robbing me
C                Dsus4 D
Of my rightful chan - ces.
G            Gmaj7
My picture clear,
Bm                 Em Em7/D
Everything seemed so easy,
C         Bm
And so I dealt you the blow,
       Em
One of us had to go.
 Am
Now it's different,
Am7/G           D
I want you to know.

Chorus:
               G
One of us is crying,
G/F#          Em   Em7/D
One of us is lying in her lonely
 C  Esus4 E/G#  Am
Bed.
  A             D
Staring at the ceiling,
 C               D
Wishing she was somewhere else
    G   Em C
Instead.
D             G
One of us is lonely,
G/F#         Em    Em7/D
One of us is only waiting for a
 C   E+ Am
Call.
              A7/C#
Sorry for herself,
          G/D
Feeling stupid, feeling small,
 Am/D                         D
Wishing she had never left at all.

G       Gmaj7
I saw myself
Bm               Esus4  Em7/D
As a concealed attrac - tion.
C           Bm       Cmaj9
I felt you kept me away
          C           Dsus4  D
From the heat and the acti - on.
G             Gmaj7
Just like a child,
  Bm                Em Em7/D
Stubborn and misconceiving.
C             Bm
That's how I started the show,
       Em
One of us had to go.
 Am
Now I've changed and
Am7/G           D
I want you to know.

Chorus

              G
Never left at all.

Chorus:
  A             D
Staring at the ceiling,
 C               D
Wishing she was somewhere else
    G   Em C
Instead.
D             G
One of us is lonely,
G/F#         Em    Em7/D
One of us is only waiting for a
 C   E+ Am
Call.
              A7/C#
Sorry for herself,
          G/D
Feeling stupid, feeling small.
