A          E/G#     F#m E/G#
Rough fleet on the river,
A           E/G#     F#m
Where my troubles belong.
        E/G#       A
'Cause you know I love you,
        E/G#      F#m E/G#
But I know it's wrong,
          A      E           D
But your body is all that I want.

Chorus:
        A  E/G#
Rosy affair,
            F#m                     E/G#
You took my heart for a little while
             A
Greatest mistake
E/G#     A
I ever made was -
  D
Loving you.
Rosy affair
I gave you my heart for a little while
I wish I could stay with you tonight
I'm going home

And we danced all night in the shadows
Alone we stood in the crowd
But I'm going crazy, now you're not around
And you should find another lover, baby
Won't let you down

Chorus

So I can love you now, baby
So I can tell you
I talk to you, Rosy

If I stay here tonight
There'll be trouble
But I don't want to pretend
Cause I know that we'll make it
My heart just can't take it no more
But I would rather lose a lover, baby, over it all

Rosy affair
The greatest mistake
I ever made

Rosy affair
For a little while, too long
I wish I could stay with you tonight

Chorus
