Intro: G#m-C#m----Eb
Verse 1:
G#mAn angry silence lay where love had C#mbeen
And in your F#eyes a look I've never sBeen
If I had fG#mound the words, you might have sEtayed
But as I tuC#mrned to speak the music plaEbyed
Verse 2: (same chord pattern)
As lovers dance their way around the floor 
I sat and watched you walk towards the door
I heard a friend of yours suggest you stay
And as he took your hand the music played
Interlude: G#m-C#m-F#-B-G#m-E-C#m-Eb
Refrain:
C#mAcross the darkened F#room
The fatal sBigns I saw
You have been somEething mF#ore than friends befG#more
C#mWhile I was hurting you F#by clinging Bto my pride
EHe had been waiting and I C#mdrove him to your sEbide
Verse 3: (same chord pattern)
I couldn't say the things I should have said
Refuse to let my heart control my head
But I was made to see the price I paid
And as he held you close the music played
Interlude: G#m-C#m-F#-B-G#m-E-
C#mAnd as I lost your love...
EbThe music played... 
Ending: G#m-C#m-F#-B-G#m-E-C#m-Eb (fade)
