E                  A
She was married to somebody else
I was lonely and lived by myself
E           Bm                 F#m F#m7
Baby, that's a battle you can't win
E                A
So we met and we started the clock
Did that help -- no it did not
E          Bm               F#m F#m7
But I guess I knew that going in

Dsus2 A/C# E/B A/C#
    Dsus2       A/C#     E/B    A/C#
And watched the sweeping second hand
Dsus2              D   Dsus2 D Dmaj7
But at least I was calm

A                  E           Bm6                      D(1stx Dsus2 D Dmaj7)
On the road to the big observatory where the planets were hung
And the stars swung around the second story and we stumbled upon
  A                     F#m        
A room where a luminous moon was waning
     Dsus2 D Dmaj7 Dsus2 A/C#   E/B     A/C#
And I knew I had leapt into the great beyond
Dsus2              D       D A/C# Bm
But at least I was calm

E                    A
Fun is fun, but when push comes to shove
When it's done, we deny it was love
E          Bm                       F#m F#m7
She'll say Jim -- I think it's a mistake
E                     A
And the room where we looked at the sky
Will be there with its telescope eye
E           Bm            F#m F#m7
Just another sentry kept awake
Dsus2 A/C# E/B A/C#
Dsus2    A/C# E/B   A/C#
Watching over silverlake
Dsus2              D   Dsus2 D Dmaj7
But at least I was calm
A                  E            Bm6                    D(1stx Dsus2 D Dmaj7)
On the road to the big observatory where the planets were hung
And the stars swung around the second story and we stumbled upon
   A                    F#m          
A room where a luminous moon was waning
    Dsus2 D Dmaj7 Dsus2 A/C#    E/B     A/C#
And I knew I had leapt into the great beyond
Dsus2              D   D A/C# Bm
But at least I was calm

              F#m     Bm                   E Esus4 E Esus4
And you'll be glad to leave with dignity intact
She won't be sad so much as matter-of-fact
           Bm                  F#m          D   D A/C# Bm F#
And it was doomed and hopeless as a suicide pact

Dsus2 A/C# E/B A/C#

And I knew I had leapt into the great beyond
Dsus2              D    D A/C# Bm
But at least I was calm
    A      E       D       Asus2
At least I managed to stay calm
