      C#m                G#m
Baby, seasons change but people don't
        F#m                          B
And I'm always there waiting in the back room
     C#m             G#m
I'm boring but over compsenate with
F#m                         B
Headlines and flash flash flash photography
    C#m               G#m              F#m B
But don't pretend you ever forgot about me
C#m               G#m               F#m B
Don't pretend you ever forgot about me

Chorus:
                          A            B
Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee?
G#m                         C#m
Style your wake for fashion magazines
 A          B
Widow or a divorcee?
G#m           C#m
Don't pretend Don't pretend
C#m G#m
      (We don't fight fair)
F#m B
      (We don't fight fair)

They say your head can be a prison
Then these are just conjugal visits
People will dissect us till
This doesn't mean a thing anymore
Don't pretend you ever forgot about me
Don't pretend you ever forgot about me

Chorus

    E                        B
We do it in the dark, with smiles on our faces
G#m     A                            C#m          B
We're dropped and well concealed in secret places
    E                        B
We do it in the dark, with smiles on our faces
 G#m    A                            C#m          B
We're dropped and well concealed in secret places

C#m G#m
       (We don't fight fair)
F#m B
       (We don't fight fair)
C#m G#m
       (We don't fight fair)
F#mB
       (We don't fight fair)

We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces
We're trapped and well concealed in secret places,
We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces
We're trapped and well concealed in secret places

We don't fight fair, with smiles on our faces
We're trapped and well concealed in secret places
We don't fight fair
(Don't pretend you ever forgot about me)
We don't fight fair
(Don't pretend you ever forgot about me)
We don't fight fair
