[Intro]
G
Is it cGheating if I call you sweetCheart?
Is it cDheating if yoD7u call me yGour man?
I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wCandering eye,
And pretDending not tD7o know you’re Gthere.
I imagine the sound of your voCice
I imDagine thD7e smell of youGr skin
I imagine me with you, the waCy that he is
And woDnder how iD7t would have Gbeen
In the morning the tears on my piCllow
Will dDry in the D7sun in my Groom
And they’ll go off to heaven, but I’lCl stay down here
Far from yDou as the D7Earth and the Gmoon
Is it cheating if I call you sweeCtheart?
Is it chDeating if you cD7all me your Gman?
I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wCandering eye,
And pretDending not to kD7now you’re Gthere.
Many years go by while we kCeep blinking eyes
Making prDomises and D7keeping a Gfew
I try to call, I try to write
But that onCe single night was the onDe night I cD7ould have had Gyou
CCome Bmdance beside mGe
Grab your paCrtner and I’Bmll grab Gmine
CHold him cBmlose in your sGweet arEmms
And tD7hink of me darling toDnight
With this rGing on my finger I was pCromised away
With this rDing I was cD7hained to a cGell
So I sing of a sweetheart gone so mCany yesterdays
So I sDing through this D7singular Ghell.
Is it cheating if I call you sCweetheart?
Is it chDeating if you D7call me your Gman?
I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wCandering eye,
And pretDending not to kD7now you’re Gthere.
Yeah I’m retrieving wayward glances with my Cwandering eye,
And pDretending not to Cknow you cGare

[Intro]

G C

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?

D D7 G

Is it cheating if you call me your man?

I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye,

D D7 G

And pretending not to know you’re there.

I imagine the sound of your voice

D D7 G

I imagine the smell of your skin

I imagine me with you, the way that he is

D D7 G

And wonder how it would have been

In the morning the tears on my pillow

D D7 G

Will dry in the sun in my room

And they’ll go off to heaven, but I’ll stay down here

D D7 G

Far from you as the Earth and the moon

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?

D D7 G

Is it cheating if you call me your man?

I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye,

D D7 G

And pretending not to know you’re there.

Many years go by while we keep blinking eyes

D D7 G

Making promises and keeping a few

I try to call, I try to write

C D D7 G

But that one single night was the one night I could have had you

C Bm G

Come dance beside me

C Bm G

Grab your partner and I’ll grab mine

C Bm G Em

Hold him close in your sweet arms

D7 D

And think of me darling tonight

G C

With this ring on my finger I was promised away

D D7 G

With this ring I was chained to a cell

So I sing of a sweetheart gone so many yesterdays

D D7 G

So I sing through this singular hell.

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?

D D7 G

Is it cheating if you call me your man?

I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye,

D D7 G

And pretending not to know you’re there.

Yeah I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye,

D C G

And pretending not to know you care
